High, mid, low or no show? Thin, thick, cushioned or compression? These are the questions you might be asking yourself when you’re trying to match the right socks to your footwear. The answer is, that you’ll probably need all of the above. Here are the main types of women’s socks you’ll wear most, plus styling tips and a foot-saving trick.
No-Show Socks
Because not wearing socks isn’t always an option, this is the next best thing. No-show socks for women protect your heels and toes without ruining your look. They’re designed with interior grips, so they don’t slip, slide or fall down at the heel and cause blisters. These work best with any shoe that’s exposed at the top like loafers, ballet flats or low-cut canvas sneakers. Once you’ve nailed the look, add a cute anklet because they’re definitely making a comeback this season.
Ankle Socks
Casual women's shoes or running sneakers pair perfectly with women's ankle socks. This versatile design hits just below the ankle and they also come in all different fabrics and styles. If comfort and support are your top priorities, look for socks that hug your arches and have a cushioned footbed. If you’re using them for serious workouts, look for styles with lots of ventilation and moisture-wicking fabrics. Pair your fave women's jeans and a tee with lightweight cotton ankle socks and canvas kicks for the perfect off-duty ensemble.
Knee-High Socks
Knee-high socks or over-the-knee socks are the throwback styles to try now. Perfect with chunky booties, riding boots or crisp white trainers, you can pair these with anything from distressed jean shorts to mini dresses or trousers. Knee-high compression socks are also great to wear when flying because they help maintain blood flow and reduce swelling.
Treat Your Feet
Did you know that there are 15 pressure points in your feet? It’s no wonder that a lot of stress and tension can be released when you give your feet some love. After a long day, soak them in a foot spa and give yourself a mini massage. Then cover them in moisturizing lotion and step into some slipper socks for women at night. You can thank us later because your feet will feel amazing in the morning.
