Trouser socks?!? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Sue21 · 11-01-2007, 08:39 AM

I have a pair of pointy-toed, very low-heeled black shoes that I wear with dark jeans to dress it up a bit.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Pantyhose or nylon material "trouser socks" in black. I want them to come BELOW my knees, just as regular socks do, but be the same material as sheer panty-hose.

Do these exist?

In JCPenney I've seen "trouser socks." Are these what I'm describing, or do trouser socks come up MUCH higher, like knee-highs?

Thanks, ladies!

They do exist. I have several pair of trouser socks that only come up to above my ankle. I've gotten them at different stores, but most dept. stores carry them. They may not be as sheer as sheer pantyhose, but they are definately much thinner than a sock.

Awesome!

So the term "trouser sock" means that it will fall BELOW the knee? I just want to confirm that "trouser sock" and "knee-highs" are not the same thing.

I'm sure there are some that go to the knee, but not the ones I get. Mine go up far enough that when you sit down, they still don't show from under the pants leg, but they are not really high. I couldn't deal with that.

Thank you--I appreciate the info!
