I bought them at Sam's Club years ago, and they're still going strong.</p> <p>I have some thicker cotton socks but can only wear them with certain boots that accommodate the thickness.</p> <p>I wear Cuddl Duds under my pants, so no need for knee socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393399 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 13:30:45 +0000 jurocha 1393399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On mild temperatures, if I am wearing jeans, I go foot socks (my are all cotton and black, so not that invisible) and booties/sneakers or no socks and pumps.</p> <p>If I am wearing skirts, though, I either go thick hose (depending on temperature, 50/80 or 100; but nothing more than 100! Believe me the 200 hoses are deliciously warm, but never stay put!) or thin hose layered under knee highs and tall boots.</p> <p>On cold weather I'm always on tall boots, and some have insulation (=warm padding).</p> <p>Which are the bad combos? Well, foot socks and tall boots; the foot socks slide off my feet (no idea how I manage that!) inside the shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393231 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 00:07:33 +0000 Anonymous 1393231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear lots of socks and like Smartwool most. Cashmere is lovely but wear out quickly. I use thinner wool most, everything from short to knee-highs. I wear greys and black the most, colors not so much. Target has had some wool blend socks in the past that I like and wear well. Sometimes I wear them over tights or even two pair of socks, but more often I change socks during the day. A fresh pair warms my feet better than one pair of thick socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393178 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 21:01:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1393178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sometimes buy tall boots half a size too large so I can wear thicker socks in them. &nbsp;They add warmth and cushioning. &nbsp;I bought a few thicker pairs in a tweedy looking knit with solid toes a few weeks ago for this purpose. &nbsp;Most of the time I buy packages of plain black socks though and they don't show with pants and booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393173 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 20:55:10 +0000 Mellllls 1393173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It totally depends on heat I'm wearing. I often wear regular athletic socks with my booties. They don't show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393171 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 20:50:44 +0000 unfrumped 1393171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of the time I wear my socks so they're not intended to show--pants come down over boots. In winter and even now in fall I need a real sock and not sheer nude hose (special occasions perhaps excepted). And for work I don't do pant-rolling.<br />That said, I just love the unfancy blog look link above. I have some marled socks just like that (well, not JC). There is something "right" about that tweedy look. Also I'd go for neutral cashmere-ish socks, similar to some discussed awhile back for cut-out booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393170 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 20:49:53 +0000 catgirl 1393170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sockdreams.com/</a> </p> <p>I love knee high Smartwools under skinnies, jeans, and trousers - just an extra layer of warmth.&nbsp; I always want to wear cute skirts with long socks and boots, but feel a little too hippie/boho in that look.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/476748310523717789/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/476748310523717789/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/562598178421749285/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/562598178421749285/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1393111 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 19:35:03 +0000 joyin09 1393111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check this site <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.robecart.com">http://www.robecart.com</a>&nbsp;for online shopping of socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-socks#post-1392983 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:17:08 +0000 Carole 1392983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have trouser socks I wear with tall boots and ankle boots if my socks won't shoe.
