What? Don't look at us like that. We're not the ones who decided your dad's lounge-around-the-house footwear of choice should become a hot new trend, but while it's here, we're going to embrace it. It's not for the feint-hearted (and realistically better suited to the young'uns), but if you're going to take the plunge, here are a few tips: Keep socks slimline (no footy socks, obviously); ruched ankle styles or interesting knee-highs work a treat; and stay away from striped, garish and brightly patterned socks if you're over 16 (which would be almost all of us). Oh and you need a solid heeled pair of shoes to balance out the schoolgirl factor. We're loving our top two styles (all under $100!) from betts.com.au. Happy experimenting...
