How To Wear Sheer Ankle Socks and Prevent Blisters From Strappy Heels

During summer, our feet take the most abuse from all the strappy sandals and heels worn on bare feet. This results in your feet sweating and rubbing causing painful blisters. This can be easily avoided with the following hosiery while also adding a fun accessory to your outfit:

Shoe liners

(These are cute lacy shoe liners that come in a range of colors.)

Sheer pantyhose

(There are limitless options for your needs – sandal-toe, ultra-sheer, low-rise, non-slip sole, nude, tan or black pantyhose.)

Sheer anklets or ankle socks

(These beautiful anklets with scalloped tops embroidered with silver thread look great paired with silver heels.)

Anklets can be worn in many different ways. Show them off – try cute patterned socks with cropped pants so that they show.  Oxford shoes pair wonderfully with ankle socks. If you have great legs, you can brave wearing anklets with platform sandals, just like those models do on catwalks. Experiment away. Nothing wrong with being unique.

Some fashionistas may even fancy sheer trouser socks or patterned knee-highs, which can look fabulous with heels or platforms and a skirt. Basically, anything that looks good on you with knee-high boots would also look good with knee-high socks. If your feet slip in your shoes, go for non-slip sole hosiery.

What Hosiery To Wear in Summer

As the summer heat hits, you are dealing with the challenge of having to wear pantyhose to work or wearing trousers every day. Skirts and dresses become forgotten because bare leg is not acceptable according to your work dress code. Fret not, there is pantyhose and other hosiery you can wear without heating yourself up. Moreover, there is pantyhose that can actually cool you off. That’s right, the knitting industry has been developing yarns for sports/exercising  that help your body stay cool and wick moisture away, and hosiery manufacturers are now utilizing these yarns in pantyhose. The new Nilit yarn that Cecilia de Rafael use in their ultra-sheer Breeze pantyhose promises to cool your body temperature and provide a cooling sensation. At only 8 Deniers, these silky pantyhose will be a must-have for your summer wardrobe.

Kunert Fresh Up 10 are another great option with their innovative yarns that keep your legs feeling fresh all day. The climate-regulating Fresh-Fiber neutralizes odors  and the barely-there look makes this pair of pantyhose a fantastic addition to summer outfits.
