Compression Socks
Whether you’re recovering from a workout or just generally looking to boost your circulation, compression socks nowadays are both fashionable and functional.
You don’t need to have been on your feet all day to reap the benefits of these types of socks. They’re made in a way that helps oxygen flow through the arteries more easily and deoxygenated blood to flow back to the heart more quickly, which improves circulation. The faster the oxygenated blood pumps throughout the body, the quicker it gets the nourishment it needs to keep going.
That’s why compression socks are often credited with helping their wearers to:
- Reduce fatigue
- Minimize swelling
- Support muscle recovery in the legs
While older styles of compression footwear were very limited in terms of both availability and style, there are now so many unique options to choose from! Check out our women’s knee high selection which are as cute as they are comfy.
Cozy Socks
What would a roundup of the best socks for lounging even be without including cozy socks?! With every passing year, it becomes easier and easier to understand why grandma always gave you socks for Christmas growing up; there’s something about snuggling up in a pair of warm and toasty socks that really makes you appreciate the little things.
- Warm colors and prints with forest animals are a big trend right now, in part because they can make you feel cozy and happy just by looking at them. Bring a little whimsy to a sweatsuit or a nightgown with an adorable fox face or fuzzy bear.
- Winter socks don’t have to be just for when it’s chilly out. In fact, a little holiday cheer can help bring a smile to your face at any time of year! If you’re home in the air conditioning, why not turn on a Christmas movie, whip up some cocoa and snuggle up in a cozy pair of reindeer socks?
- Socks with luxe fabrics, like wool and cashmere blends, add to the coziness of a loungewear look. They offer just the right amount of extra warmth, without too much bulkiness.
Styling Your Socks
Let’s face it, the outfits you wear for lounging around the house aren’t the same as what you’d wear down the runway, and that’s OK! Make comfort your priority with socks that are both fun and adorable, but most importantly, keep your feet warm and toasty. Kick back, relax, listen to some great music, light a candle and get ready to lounge around. Enjoy the little things and your time spent at home.
