Women | Fold-over Knee-high Socks

Women's wool Country / Shooting socks

When the cold bites and you don't want to give up your skirts and dresses, wool Country / Shooting socks are the answer. These extra-long socks run above the knee and combine the warmth of a natural fibre with a very flattering look, halfway between a sock and tights.

Wool is the perfect choice for a garment like this. It retains body heat but lets the skin breathe and absorbs moisture, so your legs stay warm without feeling stuffy all day. It is also an elastic fibre that adapts to the shape of the leg and recovers its shape with wear.

By covering the leg to above the knee, they protect against the cold exactly where skirts and dresses leave skin exposed. The cuff fits firmly but without pinching, so the sock stays in place throughout the day and doesn't slip down as you walk.

They are incredibly versatile. Wear them with a tweed mini skirt, a knitted dress or wool shorts and let a band of colour show between the hem and the sock. With Mary Janes or lace-ups they create a schoolgirl-inspired look, and with knee-high boots they add an extra layer of warmth with plenty of style.

Choose a neutral shade for an understated, easy-to-pair look, or be bold with a bright colour and make them the star of your outfit. Either way, you'll have a warm and versatile ally to get through winter without giving up your favourite clothes.
