Outrageously Expensive Socks by Rodarte

Filed under: Apparel

Rodarte is a unique fashion house – and that's an understatement. The masterminds behind the brand, designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy, posses an eccentric sense of style that always provokes buzz (whether positive or negative) and anticipation for their runway shows and latest creations. So it comes as no surprise that they would release hand crocheted knee socks with a dizzying price tag of $500.

Yes – for socks. Socks that are not made from leather, are not bejeweled with Swarovski crystals, have not been worn by Michael Jackson, and are not filled with $500 in cash. They're made from alpaca and mohair and don't appear to offer much warmth given their numerous holes. And please don't throw them in the wash, spot cleaning only. While it's hard to justify $500 socks, I do like the color scheme and it provides inspiration to knit myself a pair for the cold winter months ahead.

One of our many favorite things about the dressing for Fall, aside from sexy boots, gorgeous handbags, luxurious jackets and scarves, are sweaters. As the Fall approaches, sweaters quickly become a go-to staple. They're a stylish alternative in providing warmth and coziness for days when a jacket would be overkill.

Given its winter white shade, Oscar de la Renta's Sweater Jacket ($1490) may seem like an unlikely choice for a great Fall sweater, but don't let the color dissuade you. It's the color that actually makes this such an attention grabber.
