Hailey and Kendall Just Wore the "Dated" Shoe Trend New Yorkers Actually Wear All the Time
While the world buzzed about the potential TikTok ban this past weekend, I was engrossed in paparazzi images, keeping up with Kendall Jenner's and Hailey Bieber's après-ski looks in Aspen.
One look that caught my attention was when Bieber and Jenner were spotted heading to the exclusive Casa Tua, wearing stunningly similar outfits. Bieber opted for a statement piece: an oversize Ferragamo fur coat paired with black leggings and patent leather boots. On the other hand, Jenner rocked a matching fur-trimmed skirt ensemble from Gucci by Tom Ford 1996, complemented by her sophisticated black leather boots.

What truly stood out in their looks was the coordinated choice of sock boots, styles with a tight, sock-like upper. While Bieber and Jenner nailed the look, no one does this trend better than fashion people in New York City. Over the past few months, I've seen an explosion of individuals confidently sporting sock boots, styling them with everything from flowing maxi skirts to classic straight-leg jeans. I'm always stunned by how such a simple item can elevate any outfit each time.
