If you're afraid to look a little bit like a caricature or a juvenile, pair your knee high socks with boots that are maybe just a little bit shorter than them.

Unless you work in a very relaxed and low-key workplace, the knee socks and short pants/skirt look may be a little too casual. Of course, if you’re wearing long pants or a long skirt that falls below your knee, nobody will know the difference!

Some people just like the way they look. They can add a fun and sexy twist to any outfit that shows off your legs! They’re also good for adding warmth and comfort on cold days, and are a practical choice if you’re wearing tall boots.

Pop socks are short stockings, usually made out of nylon or a similar pantyhose-type material, with an elastic top to help hold them up. They may be knee-high or shorter.

Question

How do I keep my socks from slipping?

Community Answer

Sometimes rolling the top over can help. But also, scrunched up socks look cute with a pair of boots, like Uggs, etc.
