A girl at work does this with a shorter casual skirt and opaque tights and it looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486777 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:54:47 +0000 rachylou 486777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boot socks, boot cuffs, welly socks....</p> <p>Edit: I like to hunt etsy for boot cuff/socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486758 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:42:17 +0000 Angela 486758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about something like this, where it's already integrated into the boot?<br /> <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/boots/flat-boots/86611610-beste/37" rel="nofollow">http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-en.....0-beste/37</a><br /> They call it a "ribbed knit cuff." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486725 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:11:45 +0000 Anonymous 486725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking for some leg warmers this fall to fill in my boot gap, but I eventually gave up. I think Target has some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486650 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:07:23 +0000 cciele 486650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear over-the-knee socks, kind of like these but with a grey tweedy pattern:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/nordstrom-honeycomb-over-the-knee-socks/3192312?origin=related-3192312-0-0-1-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/no.....12-0-0-1-1</a></p> <p>The sweater idea is really cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486641 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:55:38 +0000 modgrl 486641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a pair of long socks from target for this. I haven't tried them yet though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486633 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:37:47 +0000 Diana 486633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Khris, I wear tall socks under my boots (see the photo, is this the look you are going after?). It's easier in my opinion than real legwarmers because the socks are less bulky and seem to fall down less. If you get them a little taller (like thigh high) or thicker you can scrunch them a little to look like legwarmers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486626 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:22:31 +0000 qfbrenda 486626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely consider this a casual look. My knee high boots were bought a year ago before I lost weight and realized that I need shorter shaft boots. So they have a bothersome gap even with skinnies tucked in. I'm not replacing them this year so I thought I might try this look sometimes when I don't mind looking casual. </p> <p>Too bad I don't have any old sweaters or I would try that DIY. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486623 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:15:46 +0000 bella 486623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you up for some DIY? </p> <p><a href="http://thatwentwell.net/tag/creating-your-own-custom-boot-socks-from-old-sweaters/" rel="nofollow">http://thatwentwell.net/tag/cr.....-sweaters/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.oopsicraftmypants.net/2011/10/more-boot-socksoops.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oopsicraftmypants.n.....soops.html</a></p> <p>For what it's worth, when socks are peeking from over the boots, it looks very casual to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486622 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:13:59 +0000 chewyspaghetti 486622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear long socks that stick out of the top of my boots, but you can do the same thing with leg warmers under your boots. It works either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486619 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:08:30 +0000 Sarah 486619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No need to be shy! ; ) I think they are boot socks. Let's see what others say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leg-warmer-thingies-that-stick-out-the-top-of-boots#post-486616 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:06:27 +0000 qfbrenda 486616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel silly asking... but what are those things called? Are they actually called "leg warmers"? I would like to find some and I don't even know what word to search for. [blushing] I looked up leg warmers and it looks like they cover the whole calf. Is that what they are supposed to do? </p> <p>After that embarrassing question, any suggestions for good ones? </p>
