When's the last time you saw someone wearing socks with heels? Probably not since Jem and the Holograms, but it's still a great look. The difficulty in replicating this look is finding socks thin enough to fit your heels; look to the hosiery department. Like thread counts for sheets, dernier is the density measurement for hosiery. The lower the dernier, the more light and sheer. These socks are 40 dernier, that's right at the low end of the heavier weight yarns, perfect for heels. 70 plus is getting into compression territory, worn mostly by nurses, they actually improve circulation and help prevent varicose veins!
