Also known as the socks update. It’s still a bit nippy and rubbish, despite the BBC’s daily meditation prayers to the contrary, and at this level of usage our tights are getting preetttyyy boring. And holey. It’s time to crack out the thigh-high socks, a la Megan Fox.

Fox may just be trotting about Beverley Hills in this picture, but her style message is clear- it’s important to be upwardly mobile (up and over the knee, to be precise).

This takes a bit of getting used to at first- as in, seeing your own pasty blue legs this side of May- but with the two-tone, woollen and quirky pairs currently available from ASOS, Jonathan Astor and Miss Oroblu, it is worth taking the plunge into this micro trend.
