Stretchy trouser socks with a wide band. These are my favourite trouser socks because the Swiss dot is dainty, and they seem to last a long time. I wear the black and nude with trousers and pumps or shooties, but not with boots. I prefer to wear thicker socks with boots. Also available in beige and chocolate.
Soft compression socks with a diamond texture pattern and seamless band. These are amazing because they don’t fall down. A very snug fit that might feel too snug if you prefer a relaxed sock. I wear these with boots and booties because they’re sufficiently thick. Available in four colours.
As with all Commando hosiery, the dig-free waistband is extra comfortable. Read the rave reviews. Pricey, but worth it if you love to wear black opaques. Here’s the same style without the control top. Do not size up.
These are by far my favourite sheer black and nude hose because they aren’t that fragile. They create a slight shine on the leg line that looks soft, chic and pretty. They are available in nine colourways, and also come in plus size.
So pretty I can’t stand it. Match these with burgundy or black footwear, a tonally deep red dress or simple little black number and you’re done. Going up a size might be more comfortable.
Ankle socks are a good solution if you don’t like to go barefoot in sneakers, workout shoes, shooties, booties and ankle boots. Plus, they can help avoid blisters when you are putting new footwear through its paces. These Zella low-profile socks with ribbed arch are soft, non-itchy and come in black and white.
I have been raving about these classic fishnet tights for years. The Oroblus are designed with a micro-sized pattern, which means that the holes are small and tightly woven, and the nylon is fine and pretty. The overall effect is more of a textured sheen. They’re not cheap at $19.50 a pair but they last and look sensational. They’ll add interest to all sorts of outfits, and would make a stylish Christmas present to treat a friend or yourself. Available in black and sable. The tights run small, so size up.
These dainty fishnets made of an interwoven black and beige nylon spandex are my new favourite warm weather hose. The effect of the pattern is textural, chic and interesting. They have a dig-free waistband and a looser fit than most hose, so no need to size up.
These have become my favourite socks in the world. They are warm, soft, comfortable and DON’T FALL DOWN. My only regret is that I didn’t discover them sooner. They are available in more colours and patterns in stores.
Give black micro fishnets a break and add lace tights to a skirt or frock ensemble instead. Self-colour textured hose always adds an interesting element to an outfit and you can dress down the look with the right footwear. A flop proof look paired with shorter dresses and slouch or riding boots. My favourite look for Autumn.
