Bella Hadid Just Brought Back Knee-High Tube Socks

last updated 9 June 2022

Everyone has an opinion on the age-old socks-with-sandals debate, but Bella Hadid just proffered another hosiery discussion: Are knee-high tube socks cool now? Well, if Hadid's track record is any indication, she may have just single-handedly brought back the humble accessory. Photographed in New York City with her boyfriend, Marc Kalman, Hadid wore them with itty-bitty shorts, an oversize tee, and Adidas Samba sneakers.

Knee-high socks have gone in and out of style throughout fashion history, notably in the 1920s, when women's hemlines shortened for the first time, as well as the '60s when icons like Twiggy paired them with mod mini skirts. Oh, and let's not forget the impact Cher Horowitz's outfits had on '90s style. Scroll down to see how Bella Hadid styled knee-high tube socks in 2022 and shop the trend.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
