Best socks & hosiery for women according to redditors

Amoretu Womens Fishnet Tights Suspender Pantyhose Stretchy Stockings Black

you can get em on amazon for like $11. trust me, it's worth it, I love mine.

I have the same pair! Got em from Amazon, in a set of 4 varients, here's a link.

What brands did you try? I use these ones from HUE (they come in nude or black) and they work great.

Turtleneck

Skirt

Leggings

Gloves

I've been through these cycles of binge and purge so many times over the past twenty years, I can't even possibly imagine how many thousands of dollars of absolutely adorable clothes and accessories I've throw out in shame, only to regret it later. I think I'm finally past that, and while I can't necessarily help you get to that place, can't help you work through the associated cognitive dissonance and cultural pressures, I can maybe at least help you rebuild.

Panties are where I always start back off. Simple, plain, cotton panties. Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, whatever, something cotton and with a gusset. I've become partial to Fruit of the Loom Heathers, both in bikini and hipster varieties. I've tried all variety of novelty, skimpy, silky, frilly, and the tried and true panties that make me feel the most feminine, that I'm actually willing to wear day in and day out are simple and breathable. I've recently given Amazon Essentials a try, fully expecting the worst. I was prepared for them to be the sheisty garbage you'd get eBaying from China, poor stitching and loose threads and you wash it once and it falls apart. Not so! Though not as fantastic as Fruit of the Loom Heathers, I'm enjoying the Cotton Stretch Bikini and Cotton Stretch Thong varieties.

From there, no feminine boy is complete without a pair of shimapan! And naturally from there, you'll need to pair them with appropriate stockings!

Of course, one of my favorite things in the world after panties and stockings are skirts! I was just talking to somebody elsewhere on reddit today here, I'm currently wearing the shorter version of that specific skirt. Go long, go short, either way the material is thick and flowy, perfect for going spinny!

I'm also partial to spaghetti straps, and these are my daily drivers. The color set that I have isn't there anymore, but those are all great too!

The next part requires bravery. I have gone thrifting at Goodwill for skirts and tops exactly once, just a couple of months ago. And while I found a haul and was extremely proud of myself, it took all the psyching up in the world to be able to just go and do it. I got a few looks but nobody said anything to me and I powered through. I want to go again, I will go again, but wow that's going to be another brave journey to work up to.

Nail polish I pick up at Big Lots, usually for about $2 per bottle, nail polish remover too. I get all sorts of stuff there anyway so one or two feminine makeup items never raised any eyebrows. I've been shopping there for years so I figure most of the employees get who I am but not a one has ever given me a single bit of grief over it. You can tell from my personality, from how I walk and talk and present myself - it's not the biggest secret in the world, but holy fuck it's scary sometimes just being open with other people face to face. I'm not big on makeup outside of nail polish, that is to say I'm not very experienced, so the $1 and $2 brushes, mascara, eyeshadow, and eyeliner I pick up there do just fine for me. I imagine if I were more experienced or more than a basic bitch I'd be appalled at the quality therein, but I have the bliss of ignorance right now!

I wish I could be more helpful addressing the underlying problem, the shame and cognitive dissonance, the need to hide and the desire to do away with your secrets in order to feel safe and clean. It took me twenty+ years to be even a little ok with myself, to accept myself for who I am, to finally be past purging all my cute and feminine things, so I absolutely get it. Wishing you the best, the strength and resilience to be who you are, to not have to change to satisfy any outside ego structures, to enjoy what you do, and to recognize your inalienable right to look like on the outside how you feel like on the inside. It's a path, a journey, a long hard road that's tough to walk alone. The only thing you can ask of yourself is to do your best, to be the most genuine you that you can possibly be!

Amazon has them.

These are ridiculously cute. Gonna have to find or knit a pair like the one on the right. MUST HAVE KITTY SOCKS!

Edit: Found them on Amazon in a SIX PACK!! OP you didn't tell us they had kitties on the toes, too!!!

Might still knit a pair though. Too flipping cute.

This is kind of a dumb quesiton but whatever. I have pretty small feet (usually a size 5, but sometimes 4.5, depending on the shoe). I feel like "no show" socks (this style, not the really tiny style) are not no show on me. Like they come up over my ankle bone, instead of being under it like the models in that amazon picture. Does anyone else have the same problem? Do I just need to convert to the really tiny socks if I want "no show"?

I'm also considering knitting all of my socks by hand, because I am an insane person.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XMNQC2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_6yim71gPvoKDX

The material is a bit thinner than I'd like, personally. Very cute though.

Both are just some items I found on Amazon. So much direct to consumer items on Amazon. Keeps the prices really low.

Edit: Found the links The top
The stockings

I picked up my top at Marshall’s and my skirt at a thrift store BUT I ordered my stockings online! I’ll post the link for you! 😊

Check on Amazon. I got these a while back, but I'm sure they have others.

these haven't failed me yet!

I recommend Hue no-show socks, specifically the low-cut ones. They have a grip on the back so they don't fall off and they will keep your shoes from smelling.

Here you go!

found these on amazon! there are also more of other types

I own those leggings!

For anyone who is interested you can find them at this Amazon shop for about 5$ (not including shipping) and they do ship internationally!

These look good. Also these...

Take a wild guess lmao

Actually, I just had a thought: WHAT ABOUT CAT TIGHTS?!

There are also versions in Totoro's, Bears, Puppied, Bats, Dragons, etc. so you have your pick of subject matter.

Otherwise, go with nude tights and accessorize with jewelry or an interesting jacket. It's tough to add tights to this without making it seem blocky.

These:

I have those stockings. You can get them off Amazon for pretty cheap.

Casual Rebellious Slytherin Student


Full costume 

Shirt 

Tie 

Skirt 

Cardigan 

Snake Tights 

Knee High socks 

Boots 

This is definitely for the more creative and rebellious slytherin student. It toes the line of sticking to the rules, but also shows their house spirit. It follows the traditional requirements of a white button up shirt, grey sweater, and Slytherin colored tie, but replaces the black skirt with a green one, black plain shoes with black boots, and throws in some snake tights and knee high socks. 

touch screen gloves

Harry Potter cook book

Auto room freshener

towel basket, home decor

popcorn maker

Funny cooking ladle

famous painting socks

constellation mug

LED room lights

bath bomb set

paradoy coloring book

book, hidden safe

Hope those help!

Here!

They have low cut and high cut, kinda wish I would have got a pack of just the grey hi cut ones cause they are the most Lowkey and I could wear them around the house without my parents calling me a weirdo

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G5IT4H6

TRY HERE!

Thanks! They're from amazon!

To anyone curious, this is the skirt and these are the long socks!

These Vero Monte tights have held up well for me! I've owned them for 2 months now, bought on the recommendation from another lady on this sub. I wash them in a delicates mesh bag and hang to dry and I've had no issues with pilling or pulling/tearing yet (and I am pretty rough with my tights).

theres these

or these

For anybody wanting the same socks,

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EUI44GO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LGxAxbCA0MGDX

Be aware that Asian dimensions are not the same as American even though they may have been "converted" or something. Order one size level up than what you normally get if you're American or European!

Pretty sure these are the socks, I got them as a gift so I'm not sure if these are the exact ones. And thanks!

I just cut all the potentially identifiable crap out of that link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071W35NJN

(only this bit is needed to identify a product by amazon. The rest gives you eg. your search parameters. I have no clue what identifiers are in the last bit, and can't read it. Others might be able to, and amazon certainly can.)

I like these

Get these cute bat socks because I also have them on my wishlist and THEY ARE SOOOOOO CUTE! Plus, tights like that are really good quality. I have pair made of the same material and they're not as flimsy as you think. But mainly, they are just kawaii as fuck. And bats are awesome.
Thanks for the cool contest!

I don't need these but I want them because look at them they are too cute!!!

Happy birthday! I hope you get better soon, sorry you have to be sick on your birthday :/

They can be found all over amazon and ebay by typing 'cat tights'

but heres the first link I saw on amazon

Not even this? https://www.amazon.com/Sanwood-Womens-Hosiery-Pantyhose-Legging/dp/B00GUBHBRS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468084845&sr=8-2&keywords=cat+stockings

I could even buy them for you if you want, they're so cheap. They are only in small size though.

• columbia rain jacket because it's rainy as fuck here
  
• supreme overdyed tee
  
• cheap old navy shorts

I can't decide if these are silly or cute.

Thanks.

I like the big booties and I cannot lie.

I have these adorable kitty tights on my <$10 wishlist that I would absolutely love. :D They even have little tails on the back!!

Thanks for the contest!

I look for ones like these that are low enough for a smoking slipper/flat and have a silicone piece at the heel. I also don't buy "one size fits all" and look towards ones that are divided into small/large categories. When I leave the house in the morning, they will unclip from my heel once or twice, and then they are good for the rest of the day.

okay, these are just slippers, but... Monty Python...

If I could recommend you some that I have.
Any sock from sockdream. They have thigh highs that fit almost any size. I only wear them when I'm home alone. Just give me a little sock happiness.

But uh for outside I have this.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071ZMDYKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have size 12 M feet and they fit me pretty fine. Nice ankle sock to wear with if you have low top shoes (Like Vans or Converse etc.) Makes your feet little cat feet. Haha.

As for your second question, what's the problem with the straps?

I think it was this link, but don't quote me on that.

I've also been linked these too.

I found these socks on Amazon today and I’m in love!

These... I need these. All of me, loves all of you.



I knowwww I'm just being overly sentimental about this but seriously /u/BornVillainess, your kindness cheered me up on one of the worst days I've ever experienced. I felt lonely and worthless, and your generosity turned that around and made me feel special. Hope all is well with you and your beautiful kitty is still enjoying his treats :) <3

These?

I highly recommend these socks for transfers :)

These pretty socks will go perfect with my favorite Mary Jane shoes.

Tbh I don't like hanging out with other trans people, or at least MtFs, because a lot of them only want to talk about trans stuff. On the one hand I get it, because they probably don't have anyone else to talk to about it with, but on the other hand, I spend every day and night of my life living it, I want to spend time with friends to get away from thinking about the fact that I'll never be normal and my entire life was ruined because I lost a 50/50 coin flip at birth. I'd rather be friends with someone on a solid foundation of common interests and a strong relationship, not one predicated on a shared, painful medical condition and my biggest insecurities. I'd like to be friends with a trans guy, they seem pretty chill, and our issues are different enough that there isn't so much overlap.

I think in many ways it stems from the fact that a lot of trans people have serious lingering mental issues from dealing with dysphoria and depression for so long, plus are probably insecure and feel a need to attack people to reassure themselves that they're okay. That's a bad combination for having a positive and constructive community, when half the members are or were suicidally depressed etc. I know there have been several times when I'm around town and seen a girl wearing those cat tights that were pretty popular and think like "Ha, I look so much better in those than that girl! Must feel bad to lose to a man at wearing tights!" because I am profoundly insecure and my legs are one of the only features I'm semi-happy with. Somehow it feels like if I compare myself to someone else in that kind of way, it makes me somehow less of a complete disaster by comparison. So I kind of get why some people end up doing the kind of things OP talked about, I don't really know what can be done about it, so I choose to not involve myself.

They're so expensive, but everything I hear is that they're worth it. I don't think I've ever owned socks that cost more than a few dollars a pair. The one Darn Tough pair I have is def my favorite, but these are a close second.

Just sayin'..these also have fuzzy animals on them

Ah, yes. I love me some fuzzy socks. You need these asap as well as omg these
