Fashion Questions

I want to be hip and be part of the 80s trend, but I don’t know what to wear? 

Neon and bright. Fishnets, socks, knee-highs and tights all come in vibrant shades to relive the early days.
If electric colors are not for you, try argyles or tube socks with stripes.

What kind of kids’ hosiery are we going to see on the playground this season? 

Colors, stripes, patterns, and novelty socks galore. Whether it’s animals, fire trucks, racecars or your favorite cartoon character, kids will be wearing them.

What colors are big for Spring/Summer?

Bright, bright, bright! Neon is also “very in.” Pink, orange, turquoise, and yellow are just a few of the colors that will be seen this upcoming season.

FUN FACT - HOSIERY IS FASHION. Try building your outfit starting with your hosiery. Match your top and shoes to the socks, knee-highs or whatever you are wearing. This is a way to stand out and tie your ensemble all together!

How is the price of hosiery determined? 

As with any product, the price of hosiery, including socks, is a function of many variables, such as the cost of finishing raw materials, machinery, labor, style, packaging, distribution and marketing. Hosiery manufacturers offer products in a wide range of prices, from inexpensive lines to premium brands. The higher-priced brands can include more expensive and luxurious fibers, hand-finishing details, such as a boarded or pressed finish, or support - all of which can add to the price of the hosiery.


Is there a correlation between price and durability? 

No, not necessarily. As noted above, pricing is based on an extremely wide range of variables while durability is almost entirely determined by weight of the yarn used in manufacturing the garment.
