Even though they seem easy to wear, thigh-high socks can be a little bit intimidating, especially for someone who’s never worn them before. Last year, I bought a pair of black knit thigh-high socks, and wore them… once. With a plain black dress. Every time I put them on, I felt like they either looked weird on me. Basically, I was really self-conscious. But after seeing all of these pictures of bloggers wearing their socks and looking amazing, I’m ready to give this another try.
