Socks striped blue and white

Blue and white striped socks are mid-calf socks with wide horizontal bands in royal blue and white between the cuff and the toe. What immediately catches the eye is that the toe, heel and cuff are solid blue, neatly framing the stripes. They can be worn by women or men during carnival or at a themed party, under shorts, breeches or a skirt.

Striped pattern and sizes of the socks

• The socks have a regular pattern of equally wide blue and white stripes.
• The toe, heel and cuff are solid royal blue.
• The socks reach about halfway up the calf.
• You can choose from two sizes: 36-41 and 41-46.
• The style is designed for both women and men.
• The socks are from the brand PartyXplosion.

If you are size 41 and unsure which range to choose, opt for the smaller size if you want the stripes to fit snugly around your calf, and the larger size if you simply want a little more room around your foot.

When do you wear blue and white striped socks?

Blue and white striped socks are mainly worn during carnival, when a striking piece of legwear adds colour to your outfit down to the ankles. Blue with horizontal white stripes is traditionally the pattern of the sailor sweater, so the socks are also a great match for a nautical or sailor theme at a themed party. As the stripes are mainly visible between the trouser leg and the shoe, they look best under shorts or a skirt.

Face paint, glasses and jewellery to match the blue stripes

Echo the royal blue of the socks with a few blue face paint stripes on your cheeks or a blue line above your eyes. Glasses with a blue or striking frame carry the colour through to your face. Keep jewellery simple, for example a necklace or earrings in blue or silver, so that the stripes remain the centrepiece of your look.

Choose the blue and white striped socks in your size and complete your carnival outfit from head to toe.
