STOCKINGS, TIGHTS OR SOCKS?

Shanus — Sat, 26 Nov 2016 16:53:46 GMT

I wear ankle boots or some a little higher w/ jeans rolled up so a little leg (inch or so) shows out. What do you wear w/ the boots in winter? Haven't found socks that don't show between boots and jeans. Ideas?

I don't care for that "skin showing" look with ankle boots. Of course now, it's too cold for it anyway. I wear trouser socks with my ankle boots but when it gets really cold, I wear tights. I assume "stalkings" means pantihose. I haven't worn them in many years but if I did, it wouldn't be with ankle boots.

I wear tights as in the winter I am too chilly to have any bare skin. I think it would depend on the climate where you live as to your preference in what to wear.

I'd wear socks. You can get them at different heights or go knee high.

My black ankle boots that I wear most often are a tiny bit big for me. I wear a pair of trouser socks to start out, then put a thick pair of black wool socks on over the first pair. They fit just right then, and I don't have skin showing.

I wear a short ankle sock that won't show above the boot. I will do the same thing but have the cuff almost meet the top of the boot--I agree that you don't want sock showing with this look.

Thin ankle socks works best for me.

I always wear tights - creates one smooth look and you don't have different lengths underneath your slacks, jeans or dresses -

I wear trouser socks with boots too.

How about tights in your skin tone? No one would know the difference.

@chrystaltree, Hanes Hosiery had a mid weight semi sheer panty hose that isn't as heavy as tights. Looks very appropriate.

I wear them all. Just depends on what I'm wearing. In the winter months I like either sheer hoisery or tights with dresses/skirts. Under slacks (depends on how cold it is or not) I might do hoisery under pants. I can do knee highs too. I have them all.

I wear trouser socks, heavier knee high socks or ones that can me mid-calf with my ankle boots. The socks don't usually show st all, occasionally a peek at them. I wear my slacks/jeans on the outside of the boot.

I ordered the HSN Bearpaws bootie today & I might wear slim-cut leg jeans tucked into the boot. I may add a heavier patterned sock worn over the jeans so the top of the socks show over the boots. But, knowing me, I probably won't. lol So me of the models look good with it worn that way.

If I lived up north (live in a warm climete) and needed extra warmth or was wearing the boots with a skirt, I would definitely wear tights. Maybe with heavy tweedy fashion socks over the tights.
