PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Blue and Red Striped Knee High Stockings (one pair)
These Adult Red & Blue Striped Knee High Socks bring instant storybook energy to any costume with their bold horizontal stripes in red and light blue. Over-the-knee length, cotton-blend knit with a ribbed elastic cuff that grips without rolling.
The stripes are knitted in, not printed — so they won't fade or peel after a few wears. Solid red reinforced toe, heel, and top cuff give structure and durability. Slight stretch through the leg means they fit most adult calf sizes comfortably.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: A natural match for any striped storybook character — classic children's book energy without the licensing headache. Pair with a red bow or a simple tunic for instant recognition at school parades.
Halloween & Costume Parties: Works for circus performers, vintage toy characters, whimsical retro outfits, or adding a pop of colour to witch, clown, or mad scientist costumes.
Cosplay & Themed Events: Aussie conventions, comic-con, pub crawls, 90s nostalgia nights — these socks anchor any playful or nostalgic costume without overpowering the rest of your look.
How to Wear It
Wear them pulled all the way up for full knee-high drama, or scrunch them down for a casual layered look. Pair with Mary Janes, Converse, or chunky boots depending on your character. Skip sheer tights underneath — the cotton blend is opaque enough on its own.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size do these fit?
A: One size fits most adults. The elastic cuff and knit stretch accommodate most calf widths comfortably — if you're between sizes or have particularly slim calves, expect a looser fit at the top.
Q: Can I wear these over tights or under trousers?
A: Yes to both. The cotton-blend fabric is thin enough to layer under jeans or leggings if you want the stripe peeking out at the ankle, or wear them bare-legged over the knee for full visibility.
Q: How do I wash these without the stripes bleeding?
A: Cold hand wash or gentle machine cycle, turn inside out. The stripes are knitted in rather than dyed separately, so colour bleed is minimal — but always wash reds separately the first time.
Q: Are these suitable for indoor school events?
A: Absolutely. They're not costume-bulky — just legwear — so they work for assembly performances, Book Week parades, or sitting at a desk all day. Comfortable cotton blend means no itching or overheating.
Care: Cold gentle wash, air dry flat, do not bleach.
