And I will check out the mule socks, even though I don't wear mules. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-solutions-about-socks-tights-and-hose#post-1837576 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 19:36:38 +0000 Greyscale 1837576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite new solution is 'mule socks' that only cover the front half of my foot. They stay on my feet <i>so</i> much better than no-show socks. I wear them in low-cut sneakers. My heel doesn't rub on the sneakers, so I don't need a sock there, but my toes often get blisters without socks and I like how the cotton keeps my feet dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-solutions-about-socks-tights-and-hose#post-1837570 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 19:25:46 +0000 The Cat 1837570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds nice and pretty and will probably be useful to some. Thank you for this post, which made me reflect on my own solutions.</p> <p>I don't like to wear those little "no show socks". They somehow just feel annoying. And despite their name, they actually often do show. I sometimes go bare feet in sneakers, but usually I wear socks.</p> <p>Unlike many others, I don't feel a need to match my socks or tights/pantyhose to either my shoes or my pants/skirt/dress. Instead, I will often choose a non-neutral pair and match them to an item near my face (i.e. pullover, scarf, jacket, glasses, earrings). Or I will just choose grey or black, which can be used with nearly anything I wear. Two exceptions: (1) My black wool or opaque tights will be worn with black dresses/skirts only. Unless it is very cold, I will actually prefer one or two pair of sheer black tights, which don't look so heavy. (2) When I need to wear tights (pantyhose) in summer, I will wear a pair as close to my skin tone as possible. To me, black and coloured tights simply look too heavy with summer clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-solutions-about-socks-tights-and-hose#post-1837554 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:44:55 +0000 always trying 1837554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a mild climate, but there are some times when, especially at night in winter, that I freeze in sandals or even bare heels or toes.&nbsp; Also we have a little rain in winter, and I go to snow, and colder places a few times a year. I have worked out a system with some advice and help, that works for me.&nbsp; Just passing this on in case anyone finds any of this useful.</p> <p>1. some sneakers, especially Sketchers,&nbsp; feel so nice inside that go nicely with bare feet.&nbsp; Others, both fashion and athletic, seem to need some foot coverage. With these I wear those little no show socks. Best are the sports kind.</p> <p>2. With sneakers sometimes I wear socks that come up to ankle bone. I do this with white ones on white shoes, black with black sneakers, and with my grey and blue sneakers blue ones that shoe a little blue line at the top to match the blue lines on the shoes. This may not be as fashionable as no show, but works for sports activities, and long hours of wearing them.</p> <p>3. With lower ankle booties either no show or bare, depending on how the inside of the booties feel.&nbsp; Higher shaft booties get socks that are same color as the bootie and if they are taller than tops of booties it depends on&nbsp;the &nbsp;pants or jeans length.&nbsp; </p> <p>4.&nbsp; Sheer nude stockings for daytime dresses, sheer black or darker grey or&nbsp; opaque depending on the level of dressiness.</p> <p>5. Heavy, colored, or wool, or whatever for hiking, snow boots, or colder weather outdoor activities.</p>
