Sock Regression

After 12 years of Catholic school, I swore up and down that I would never wear a pair of knee socks ever again. But does that vow count if the socks are thigh-highs? Fuck it. It’s my vow and I’ll break it if I want to.

I am in love with these thigh-high socks from American Apparel. Warmer and thicker than tights, these socks look super cute under dresses and skirts and no one will know that they’ve got weird tube sock stripes at the top. (Unless you want them to.)

Available at the Walnut Street and the UPenn stores, the socks cost between $15 and $20, depending on color and style. The only downside? They’re one size only and that size is clearly for tall women. I’m 5′3″ and I do some serious folding to make them fit.
