These lovely lace trimmed knee highs look really pretty when worn with a short skirt for that girlie look but they also have the usual practical uses that you only get with knee highs, which means of course that they go wonderfully well under your trousers. The soft lace lies flat against your skin and doesn't cut in or rub. They are 40 denier so will be quite hard wearing and give you a little bit more warmth than your usual 20 denier knee high that can ladder easily.
