Socks and leg warmers are gender-neutral kids’ clothing essentials, but their minor differences make each type better suited to different outfits and occasions.
From ribbed crew socks to athletic ankle socks, kids’ socks come in a wide range of styles, making them extremely versatile to wear with all kinds of footwear and clothing. Since leg warmers fit long up the calves, they work best when worn with tights, leggings, or bare legs, but they can also be paired with socks for extra warmth and comfort.
Choose leg warmers when an additional layer of warmth is needed or to add a stylish element to a leggy outfit, such as a skirt with boots. Opt for socks as a lighter option in warmer weather or to keep little toes cozy with thick socks in the colder seasons.
