Shorts are one of the simplest daily items for summer. However, if you're worried about them being 'too plain', try adding some flair to your look with the simple trick of 'adding socks'.

Cha Jeong-won paired black shorts with a grey shirt featuring graphic accents, completing a lively casual look with white socks that rise just above the ankles and sandals.

Though simple, adding socks upgrades the casual look to be neat and refreshing. Especially, the combination of short shorts and mid-length socks creates a visual effect that makes the legs appear longer.

On the other hand, Kim Na-young added black socks to create a sporty vibe.

She paired a lively graphic t-shirt and denim shorts with black sneakers, using socks to connect the tones, creating an illusion of longer and slimmer legs. A look that captures both an active mood and a sense of fashion.

When adding socks to shorts, the choice of color and length is important. Matching the overall tone or naturally connecting with shoe color completes a stable style.

High-top sneakers can be paired with ankle socks, while sandals or flats can be matched with mid-length socks.

Just by adding a single pair of socks, you can break the monotony of summer fashion. This season, let socks upgrade your shorts style.
