Knee-High/Mid Calf Socks


Knee-high socks are a great option for those who want to keep their ankles warm in the wintertime. They come in a variety of patterns, thicknesses, lengths, and styles that would match any woman's individual style. Some women will wear knee-high socks with their skirts or dresses as an alternative to tights for colder weather. Knee-high socks can be worn with pants or jeans as well - just make sure they are long enough to cover your calves so that you don't have to worry about your pants rubbing up against them.
