Trendy, Sexy, Socks: Love 'em? Hate 'em?

Fashion trends come and go, and my current obsession is knee-high socks. These have been around for a while now, but I wasn't sure how to wear them and honestly didn't know if they'd look good on a 20-something gal like me. But of course, that was before I saw how sexy and versatile they could be! There are literally hundreds of styles out there, each with their own unique twist.

I can totally see myself wearing these with sporty mini skirts or shorter pencil skirts:


I found these babies whilst browsing Shop Wiki, which features a handy shoe-buying guide that also encompasses accessories for legs and feet. It's actually a great little shopping directory, and what I love is that it includes not just the sites that pay them to be publicized, but also the ones that don't. (It's like Google, except for shopping. I love it!)

Finding a host of gorgeous leg wear was a snap since the interface had pictures, descriptions, and links to their respective shops. Check out these awesome leg warmers that I found in the Hosiery and Socks section:


I *completely* fell in love with the woolly blue warmers. It looks like Cookie Monster decided to eat your shins. It's entirely too hot right now to wear leg warmers, but I figure it'll be colder in about 5 months and there's nothing wrong with shopping ahead.

Either way, I've actually got to start building up my sock drawer because the boy and I are playing sports regularly again, and I prefer to be stylish both on and off the field. :D

What about you, ladies? Would you give knee-high socks a try?

I actually can't see myself wearing them, and I don't have short skirts to go with them. They might be too warm for my taste. He he!

Ceemee- Haha, I want to try it out with one cute pair at least once because I'm such a sucker for lovely stripes. XD

I do like them and I would... if only I could figure out how to wear it w/o looking like a school girl..

Lizz said...

Khatu- Haha, yeah! That's my main problem, too. I don't think a 26-year-old school girl would be appealing to anyone! XD

I love knee-high socks! Okay, nothing kinky here, I mostly were these because they are comfortable in my boots (winter in Canada, you know...).

It's a good compromise between pantyhose and socks (and the former are quite uncomfortable I find).
