September 22 - National Legwear Day

Happy National Legwear Day! On September 22, today coincides perfectly with the beautiful changing leaves. The air is getting cooler, and fashion magazines are covering the best of fall style. 

Legwear offers some of the most important ways to express personal style. 

From sheers and tights to leggings and anklets, even men’s, women’s and kids’ socks complete a look. No wonder the garment needed its own holiday! 

Elizabeth I was presented her first pair of stockings in 1598. These days, women choose from numerous types of legwear.  

 

Depending on the occasion, their options include opaque, brightly colored tights, textured anklets, and foundation finishes. Sheer hose offers a more subtle approach in shades for all skin colors and tones. 


Men’s socks have evolved, too. From the basics to offerings with statement-making graphics and colors, the men step out colorfully or stately.  


As ties fade from the workplace, socks function as an expression of style as well. And kids continue to enjoy fun characters and prints in their legwear, along with a rainbow of colors. 


Legwear offers everyone comfort, quality, and value. And whether on Main Street or the runways of Milan Fashion Week, everyone turns to legwear to put a kick in their step, complete a look and add individual style to any outfit. 


HOW TO OBSERVE 


On National Legwear Day, let your legs do the talking. Show off some bold leggings, a sophisticated monochromatic textured pair of tights, the newest lace anklets or a pair of graphic socks that can’t go unnoticed.  

 
Use patterns, colors, textures, or sheers to add pop to any outfit, boost your confidence, and highlight your fashion flair. 


And to celebrate, be sure to show a little leg by posting your favorite look on social media using #NationalLegwearDay and #MyStyleKick!
