Lace socks that split at the toe. These sit at mid-calf in an openwork knit you can see skin through, with a scalloped trim at the cuff that holds its shape instead of flopping over. The toe divides the way a tabi does, so they sit correctly inside tabi flats and tabi loafers rather than bunching at the split. They come in black and white, and both read better against a colored shoe than a black one. Wear them with ballet flats and let the cuff show.

Lace socks are the frilly-sock trend done in a split toe, so they work inside tabi flats as well as under a mary jane strap.
