Knee-high socks are a versatile fashion accessory available in various fabrics, styles, and colors. They can be worn for practical purposes or as a fashion statement. Knee-highs are associated with schoolgirl looks and were popular in the 1960s and 1970s. They can be worn with a variety of footwear and are available in footless versions. Proper care is necessary for delicate designs.
Knee-high socks are a type of foot covering that extends down the legs and reaches the knees. Sometimes referred to simply as knee-high socks, they are available in a variety of fabrics, textures, styles, and colors. They are often worn as a fashion statement but can be used for practical purposes. Although they cover the legs, knee-highs can be worn to show off the legs and draw more attention.
Like other types of socks, knee socks can be made from many types of materials, including cotton, nylon, silk, and wool. Woolen knee-high socks can be worn, for example, during the winter to keep your feet and calves warm. Nylon knee socks are thinner and can be worn with more formal clothing or during the summer. Knee high socks of all kinds can be worn with many types of footwear, from heels to boots. Properly made knee-high socks will stay on the legs and won’t slide down to the ankles.
These socks are often associated with younger women. Cheerleaders have worn these socks in high school or college colors. Knee-highs are also worn with short plaid skirts and collared shirts, as an accessory to the uniforms worn by girls at private school. Socks, therefore, are often associated with a schoolgirl look. They are sometimes used as an accessory in costumes that imitate this look.
Knee-high socks were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s in many societies. They were worn with miniskirts and rose to just below the knee. Brightly colored socks with stripes were popular.
Modern socks sometimes rise above the knee and stop at the thigh. These thigh high socks are worn with everything from heels to boots. Sometimes they are combined with transparent or opaque stockings. When worn with knee-high or thigh-high boots, knee-high socks cushion the legs against the rough material of the boots. Socks are also worn with ankle boots, and boots and knee-high socks often go together.
Celebrities have been seen wearing knee-high socks that do not cover their feet. These are called footless knee socks. Popular designers have added knee-high socks to their lines.
Caring for knee-high socks is similar to caring for lingerie. Socks can usually be washed in a machine. Sheer socks or socks with delicate designs may need to be hand washed. White socks can be bleached and washed in hot water. Brightly colored knee-high socks are usually washed in cold water with a mild detergent.
