Knee High Socks verses Tights

We all have busy lives, what with work, friends and family, but I bet no matter how busy you are youve pondered the age old question; which is better knee high socks or tights? Well, you may be glad to know that both are good and there are times when one is more appropriate than the other. To help calm your mind and stop you worrying, here is a guide on when to wear knee high socks and when to wear tights.
Tights are warmer
Its a fact, covering up your whole leg from top to bottom is going to be warmer than only covering half you leg. This ground-breaking nugget of science can therefor swiftly bring us to the conclusion that tights are warmer than socks. So, in very cold weather stick to tights and if its a little warmer wear knee high socks. You could even go one step further and wear a pair of knee high socks over a pair of tights; double warm!
Tights look great with dresses
Whether its a little shift dress or a figure-hugging body-con number, dresses look great when worn with tights. To make a dress look casual and a bit more daytime wear it with a pair of thick black opaque tights. To add a touch of colour and fun to a dress go for a pair of brightly coloured or patterned tights. Skin coloured tights tend to look a little bit subtler and are great for warmer months or when you want to dress to impress.
Knee high socks make you look young
Lets face it, theres an age limit when it comes to wearing knee high socks. If your 55 year old mother met you for lunch in knee high socks youd definitely have some questions to ask her. In general, and not to be harsh, knee high socks shouldnt really be seen on anyone over the age of 30. Because they are for the young they will make you look young i.e. a 29 year old wearing them will seem like shes trying to look 21. It does help to keep your look young and fresh, but be careful, as it can quickly appear as if you dont know how to dress for your age.
Knee high socks are ideal for the great outdoors
Theres something about a pair of chunky knit knee high socks that makes me want to climb a mountain. The country look was big news last season and knee high socks were a key part of this style. As long as theyre in earth tones, such as grey, green and brown, theyll look country chic and will give your style a great outdoors twist. Pull them over the top of your wellingtons so theyre just peaking out, or team them with a chunky pair of walking boots.
Tights are elegant and classic
Probable only 1 in 100 people wear knee high socks each day where as youll find millions of women wearing tights. Tights really are a versatile wardrobe staple.
