Over The Knee Socks

There’s ‘Over the top’, ‘Over the hill’, and ‘Over’. In each case, you’re not wild about whatever’s at stake. Even in the best of cases – considering, say, ‘overview’ – you’re still not into specifics. ‘Over’, in other words, is one very elusive word.

But then there’s fashion. And if fashion suddenly (but not inexplicably) decides to make something hot (to paraphrase Paris Hilton), all logic goes out the window. How? Why? Because Over Knees are flattering and sexy with a respective capital F and S, period.

Worn with debonair-but-pulled-together perfection by no less than party girl du jour Peaches Geldof, we’ve seen their catwalk debuts translate beautifully to real life outfits (you know: the ones you can actually wear in public). Take note: we’re shifting Black Over Knees by the box-loads. A must have if ever we witnessed one.

So whether your mother is practical, fashionable, or super chic, we know we have something that shows her how special you think she is.

Now, bearing in mind the weather’s gone barmy, perhaps it’s a good idea to wrap up warm. So, starting at the warmest of offerings and working down, here’s how to put your fashion foot forward minus the frostbite:

Jonathan Aston Long Wool Mix Boot Sock

Jonathon Aston’s Long Wool Mix Boot Socks are knitted, which should tell you enough about their outrageously cosy appeal. Slouchy, they’ll also fall down below your knee should you wear shoes instead of boots, and this, we found, has the most flattering of youthful effects yet. Adorable.




Trasparenze Dora Wool Rib Over The Knee Socks

You’d also fare well warmth-wise in Trasparenze Dora Wool Rib Over The Knee Socks (colours galore to chose from, thank you Trasparenze) or Levante’s Over Knee Socks. We’re loving their fabulous feel against the skin - and keeping warm!




Trasparenze Caballero Over the Knee Socks

Down the spectrum come Trasparenze’s Caballero Over Knees in 70 Denier, like your favourite opaque tights. Then Over Knees in 50 Denier by Jonathan Aston (simple cannot be overlooked) and, for the fashion-forward gals among us (welcome, sisters), Jonathan Astons’ Lurex Over Knees. 20 Denier and sparkly, your go-to party accessory by a new name.

Happy Shopping.
