We’re thrilled to announce the first addition of striped cotton OTK (over-the-knee) socks into our Accessories shop. These super-stretchy, heavy-ish stockings feature bright colors in ribbed knit.
You can wear these vertical-striped stockings for so many things. They’ll work for late 18th century and late 19th century, particularly the 1890s, when all manner of brightly-colored, wackadoodle legwear was en vogue.
Also wear these stockings for Harry Potter cosplay, Halloween, or just because they’re freakin’ awesome. Check them out:
I love these funky stockings! All the designs are unique and catchy. I have seen only single color plain stocking before but these stockings are love really!
