Top 4 Sites for Knee Socks

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

While I wouldn't wear them with shorts, there is definitely a place for knee socks in the wardrobe of many women. The perfect compromise between wearing pantyhose and going barefoot, chic knee socks work especially well with trousers -- although you'll want to leave the novelty prints at home when you're dressing for the office. Here are a few of my favorite places on the web for shopping for knee socks.

1. StockinGirl.com - High Fashion Knee Socks

As the coolest site on the web for sexy stockings and tights, StockinGirl.com also offers a small selection of knee socks - but what the department lacks in size, it makes up for in style. Gorgeous and unique prints make StockinGirl knee socks seem more like luxury hosiery than socks. They also carry thigh high and ankle socks, so be sure to check them out for all your hosiery needs.

2. Sock-Dreams.com - Paradise for Fans of Knee Socks

One of my favorite site for socks of any kind is Sock-Dreams.com -- these people know socks -- and perhaps more importantly, they've made a huge selection of them available to us, the consumers.

With styles ranging from anklets to thigh high, in their knee high department alone they offer vertical and horizontal stripes, toe socks, fishnet, crochet, cashmere and more.

3. WeLoveColors.com - Unique Hand-Dyed Knee Socks & More

WeLoveColors.com has been getting a lot of press recently for their uniquely divine hand-dyed tights, thigh highs, knee highs and other types of hosiery. And after trying some of their products, I can honestly say, the attention is justified. Be sure to check their knee high section for solid colored, striped and unique "splash" styles.

4. FootTraffic.com - Textured, Novelty & Argyle Knee Socks

Foot Traffic offers a great selection of trouser and knee socks, ranging from chic textured styles to fun and funky animal prints -- and of course, argyle knee socks are represented as well. This site is also a great stop for textured tights and leggings, plus sizes, and novelty socks.
