When you talk about women fashion ensemble, the most difficult to incorporate are the ones we usually neglect – knee high socks. Accessories, for that matter, like pieces of jewelry, bags and watches are just worn to accentuate the look. But when it comes to wearing these kinds of socks, it entails great sense of fashion and courage to work your way to that celebrity look you have always dreamed of. Why? Because socks this long cannot be easily removed once you are out of your homes already and you realized they are not really fit for your attire. It is not very easy to pull them out of your bare legs and hide them somewhere in your bag.

Knee high socks make a bold statement. Their dominating effect would rather cause you to be intricate in choosing the right pair for your fascinating outfit. You cannot just return home at once to take off your incompatible socks. So before you leave the house, it pays that you check on these guides in wearing your socks.

Do’s for Wearing Knee-High-Socks

  • If you are thin and fit, wearing these socks would look great with short skirts.
  • If you’re opting for an adult look, pattern them with Mary Janes and some fancy dresses.
  • If you are in cold places and you would want to stay warm, you can still wear knee high socks to avoid bulky look on legs.
  • If your legs are not perfect, choose dark, solid neutrals that will surely hide your flaws.
  • Opt for sheer and light hues of socks during spring to ride with the season’s freshness and warmth.
  • Make sure that the band or garter above does not make a cut on your skin to avoid that sausage look.

Don’ts for Wearing Knee Socks

  • You wouldn’t want to see someone not feeling comfortable with what she is wearing and keeps on adjusting everything almost always. Refrain from pulling your knee socks up. Before you leave the house, make sure you have them right on your legs.
  • Wear those socks without considering the weather. Usually white knee high socks are not advisable during winter.
  • Wear your knee high socks with flat shoes. Instead of giving you a fabulous look, you might end up slumped in a masculine figure.
  • Wear and look like a bagpipe with kilts.
  • Put faddish items together. If your socks are in bright colors, you don’t pair them with your neon blouse or skirts unless you intend to go in a circus.
  • Take knee highs with shorts.
  • Appear youthful and fun by choosing those in sheen, argyle or chevron patterns.

The idea that knee high socks are the most difficult to incorporate in your entire outfit gives you the hint on when to use or not to use them. Following the guidelines above will definitely help you find for the right pair of socks that would spice up your manner of dressing and color your dull personality.

How to Care for your Knee High Socks

You wouldn’t want to buy your knee high socks every time you want to use one. Prolong the life and durability of your socks by taking care of them the way you take care of your skirts, pants and tops. Preserve the life of your fashion items by keeping these things in mind:

  • Read the package for instructions on how to wash your socks. Some are made so intricate that certain kinds of laundry soaps are recommended for cleaning.
  • Do not always depend on the dryer. Silk and wool socks get distorted there. Hang them for air dry instead.
  • Never wear your socks for two consecutive days. Change them everyday for a more comfortable and cleaner feel on your feet.
  • Do not allow your socks to get snagged by hooks, nails and other rough materials.
  • Fold your socks properly. Lay one of the pairs on top of the other and roll them like a ball.
  • Avoid grabbing the wrong pair in haste by keeping and storing your socks according to their colors.
  • Avoid losing one mate of your knee high socks by keeping them in lingerie bags after use.
  • Don’t stretch one sock on top of the other.

Learn how to take care of your knee high socks for that great look that lasts. You can’t afford to buy one after the other just because you failed to care for them. Gratify your ensemble with the sweetest fashion sense by wearing those knee highs with comfort and ease. Exude confidence and go fashionable all the time!
