Johannesburg Fashion Week will be upon us in no time, and although some of my favorite items of clothing, that we’ve ordered for archiving thus far may not have arrived, the show must go on… We’ve always been asked, “What do you wear to fashion week?” and the answer is always the same: Something comfortable, yet tasteful. Something elegant, but absolutely not formal. Something casual, but you would not mind being photographed in…
We even have safe bets: Jeans with opulent jewellry, jacket/coat, and shoes…
Sneakers with expensive dress, (as Susie Lau of Susie Bubble fame usually does), or simply; Chino pants with neon, or edgy colourful blazer…
The choice in outfit will also depend on when, and where the event will be taking place through-out the week. Nothing is more treacherous then wearing stilettos, and trying to walk down cobble… Try it, and see *weep.
With that said, here is what was trending on the Final Day of Milan Fashion Week:
Ankle socks worn with Sandals
This is not a new trend per sé, however it has probably never been worn in such high volumes… Like it was on the Final Day.

With all this to take inspiration from… There really is no reason to feel like one has nothing to wear. And if that be the case, all the more reason to go to Fashion Week, no?
