4 outfit ideas for women

Casual chic

Ankle boots and leggings -- compression leggings or skinny jeans with lightweight compression socks create a cozy and fashionable fall look. Add an oversized sweater or cardigan for a comfortable and stylish outfit.
Skirts and dresses -- pair knee-high or thigh-high compression socks/stockings with a fall dress or skirt. Layer with a denim jacket or trench coat for added warmth.

For this look, we suggest Style Soft Opaque pantyhose.

Athleisure

Leggings and sneakers -- for a casual, sporty look, wear compression leggings with non-compression crew socks and sneakers. A long sleeve top or a cropped hoodie adds a comfortable layer for cooler weather.▲

For this look, we suggest Soft Silhouette Leggings

Business casual

Trousers and loafers or flats -- women can wear sheer compression socks under cropped trousers, paired with loafers or flats for an office-ready look. Add a blouse or a lightweight turtleneck sweater. ▼

For this look, we suggest Style Sheer (calf) in your skin tone.

Layered fall look

Boots and sweater dresses -- style compression socks with knee-high boots (or compression tights with over-the-knee boots) and a sweater dress. This look combines warmth with style, and the socks add a touch of texture.
Long coats and scarves -- compression socks peeking out from boots or under cropped pants with a long, tailored coat and a scarf adds a sophisticated touch.▲

For this look, we suggest Style Soft Opaque in thigh-high or pantyhose.

4 outfit ideas for men

Casual

Jeans and sneakers -- pair neutral-colored compression socks (black, navy, or gray) with slim-fit or straight-leg jeans that are slightly rolled up to show a bit of the sock. Combine this with sneakers or casual boots for a laid-back vibe. ▲

For this look, we recommend Essential Cotton calf.,

Boots and layers of outdoor-appropriate pieces -- pair compression socks with leather or work boots, cuffed jeans, and a cozy cardigan or bomber jacket. A scarf or beanie adds another stylish layer. ▲

For this look, we recommend Style Microfiber Patterns

Sporty

Athletic shorts -- if you're going for a more casual, sporty vibe (for tailgating or watching the game), pair knee-high compression socks with athletic shorts and sports slides. Throw on a sports jersey or hoodie to complete the look.
Joggers -- tapered joggers with compression socks underneath with sneakers is a stylish athleisure option.▲

Business casual

Chinos and loafers or Oxfords -- compression socks in subtle patterns or solid dark colors work well with chinos and loafers for a business-casual look. Add a button-down shirt or a lightweight sweater.▼

Quick tips

  • Layering: For added warmth, layer cardigans, outerwear, dresses over compression socks.
  • Patterns: Add a pop of interest by wearing patterned compression socks or stockings with an otherwise pattern-free outfit. 
  • Proportions: Give balance to your attire by pairing wearing oversized tops and chunky knits over slim-fitting pants or tights.
  • Colors: Choose bold, solid colors of shirts and sweaters or pants and skirts to contrast with more conservatively hued socks or stockings. 
  • Boots or booties: Let patterned and colored compression socks peak out just above ankle boots, booties, and high tops. Pair calf boots with colorful compression tights and a skirt.  
  • Sweater dresses: Easy style for women -- throw on an oversized sweater dress with a pair of compression stockings or leggings.
  • Boho looks: Pair knee-length (calf) compression socks with a fall-inspired dress, jacket, and hat.
  • Cropped pantsuits: Compression socks or stockings can give your favorite cropped pantsuit or cropped jeans extra mileage well into fall.
