Bella Hadid in Coperni – VOGUE

Wed 10 Aug

The Lionesses are perhaps the most famous proponents of knee-length sports socks on the scene right now, but they have competition from Bella Hadid, who has been using them to make a style statement away from the pitch. The supermodel wore sporty black socks stamped with the Nike Swoosh logo for a night out with her boyfriend Marc Kalman this week. In place of studded football boots, she wore patent leather heels.

Sports shorts? Not for Bella. She stayed true to her trademark preppy style in a grey patterned skirt, a baby tee by Tankair that read “Compassionate” across the chest, a varsity bomber, black sunnies and a silver necklace. Kalman looked smart by her side in a summer shirt, louche trousers and Doc Martens Derby shoes.

Bella has made long socks something of a signature this year. She’s worn them with cycling shorts or leggings for the gym, and styled knee-high white socks with baggy track tops for outings with friends. At Paris Fashion Week in March, she wore a look that was fresh from Coperni’s autumn/winter 2022 runway, complete with the brand’s logo knee socks.
