Which Gipsy knee highs should I choose?
The Sheer Smooth Knit Knee Highs come in a two pair pack and give a sheer look at the ankle, so they suit smart trousers and court shoes. The 40 Denier Opaque Knee Highs give solid colour and are ideal for trouser wear when the weather is cooler. The Ribbed Semi Opaque Knee Highs have a ribbed texture that makes a fashion statement with boots or under cropped trousers.
Why choose knee highs over tights?
Knee highs are cooler and quicker to put on than tights, and there is no waistband, so they suit people who find tights uncomfortable. Under trousers, only the ankle shows, so knee highs give the same look as tights. A two pair pack, such as the Sheer Smooth Knit style, keeps the cost down for everyday wear. Knee highs also suit travel, as they are easy to pack.
How should knee highs fit?
Knee highs should sit just below the knee without digging in. If they slip down, try a smaller size, and if they feel tight, try a larger size. Wash them in a wash bag on a gentle cycle to help them last. Dry them flat, away from radiators. The Gipsy Sheer Smooth Knit Knee Highs (2 Pair Pack) comes with a reinforced toe, where hosiery takes the most wear and a comfort top. See Knee High Socks for other brands.
