It’s four days until 2023, and infamous trendsetter Emily Ratajkowski has begun to enter a field that is sure to be different. Controversial fashion choices. The “My Body” author and model was spotted in New York City in a striking coordinated Coperni set with a cropped waist jacket and a matching herringbone mini skirt with wrap detail. While her top half looks appropriate, her bottom half has fallen into unexpected territory. Ratajkowski opted for a pair of knee-high socks that mimic the look of thick compression socks. Traffic has never looked so luxurious.
Although compression fittings, commonly used to keep pressure on the foot and facilitate blood circulation, admittedly not on our Pinterest boards in the new year, Ratajkowski might be looking for something here — creating an aesthetic that’s both functional and trendy. It is a practical choice for Ratajkowski, who is better known skin-showing appearance in the past, but if she is indeed wearing compression stockings, this could be an inspiration for those who need to wear them in their daily lives.
To complete her tight outfit, Ratajkowski paired polarized socks with white and red New Balance sneakers, tortoiseshell sunglasses and classic gold hoop earrings. Take a look at the photos of Ratajkowski taking off his knee-high sock perfectly up front and see if this is really the next big trend.
