When knee socks are a good choice?

The knee socks should not be too short, because then you will pull them up to the knee and not get the intended effect. On the other hand, too long will become a substitute for self-supporting stockings. It is best to measure the length of the inside of the legs and add the length of the foot to it. Next, measure the circumference of the thighs, since it is to them that the knee socks should adhere. If you buy too loose, they will roll and fall off. When you put on ones that are too tight, they impede the free flow of blood and begin to dig into the skin. Your special attention we recommend knee socks with a silicone strip on the inner side. It makes them fit better on the thighs.

Socks look most impressive when combined with clothes that strongly expose the legs. You can juxtapose them with:

• shorts,
• skirts,
• mini-dress,
• short skirt,
• short suit,
• a short sweater that reaches halfway down the thighs.

In the past, styling with knee socks was worn by schoolgirls and little girls. Today, this item of clothing is increasingly appearing on the catwalks of major fashion houses. They have also taken a liking to trendsetters. For years, women's knee socks have been worn by rock and punk music lovers. Paired with a short pleated plaid skirt, they allow them to express their style and personality. In autumn and winter, it is worth betting on thicker knee socks made of knitted fabric. In the spring your attention is recommended semi-transparent, which are thinner and prevent overheating of the legs.

Later in the article we will suggest how to wear knee socks. Use our tricks and create unforgettable styles for different occasions.

How to wear knee socks?

Don't hide your knee socks under your clothes (or under the top of your shoes). Then you will not get the intended effect. Short skirts, mini-dresses, shorts and jumpsuits should end above the knee-high socks. Ensure that the tip, which reaches above the knee, has an interesting finish. We recommend your attention to socks with a lace, patterned, colored or zirconia decorated belt. If you want to optically lengthen your legs, wear knee-high socks in the same color as the heeled shoes. Then you will get a longer vertical line, which has a slimming effect on the figure. On the other hand, knee socks in a contrasting color to the shoes look very striking. For example, you can choose white for black sneakers, and mustard for purple boots.

Very popular among Polish women are black, plain knee socks, which are considered the most versatile. In addition, they optically lengthen and slenderize the legs. If you want to stand out from the crowd, opt for polka dot, striped, checkered or floral motif socks.

White, gray, navy blue and beige knee socks are also considered classic choices. Nothing prevents you from going wild with colors. Purple, green, fuchsia and mustard will express your colorful personality and boldness to create interesting styles.

Select the thickness of the knee socks according to the prevailing weather conditions. On cold days, bet on opaque cotton or wool with a touch of elastane. When it gets hot, wear semi-transparent.

How to wear knee socks? Black and plain are considered the easiest to style, as they match most of the clothes in your closet. Patterned ones, on the other hand, generally require a subdued top, as do colored ones. You can also play with colors, combining them accordingly. E.g. fuchsia knee socks match short dress in cobalt. Mustard, on the other hand, contrasts with the purple short suit.
