Penti Dotted Knee High Socks

Penti Dotted Knee High Socks are sheer 20 denier pop socks with a subtle all-over dot, so the lower leg gets a hint of pattern where a plain pop sock would be invisible. A soft, non-slip comfort band keeps them neatly in place, making them an easy match for skirts, dresses and trousers.

How to wear dotted pop socks

Pop socks are usually chosen to disappear; these are chosen to be glimpsed. Under a midi skirt or cropped trouser the dots show at the ankle and shin, which gives the same effect as patterned tights without the full pair — useful in spring and autumn, or under trousers in the office. The knit is a fine 20 denier sheer in black or nude, with fine soft seams at the toe so nothing rubs in a closed shoe, and a comfort top band that grips gently rather than tightly.

Dotted vs plain pop socks

For a plain sheer that vanishes under trousers, choose the Penti Fashion Sheer Pop Socks. Choose the dotted pair when the sock will be seen. The same dot comes as an ankle sock for loafers and trainers, and every length is in our knee high socks collection.

FAQs

Do pop socks stay up?

These do — the comfort band is knitted to grip by shape rather than by tightness, so it holds without rolling or leaving a mark. If a pop sock slips it is almost always because the band is too loose for the calf.

Can I wear pop socks with a skirt?

With a midi or longer skirt, yes: the top of the sock stays hidden and the dots show at the ankle. With a skirt above the knee the band will show, so choose a pair of polka dot tights instead.

Black or nude?

Nude gives a bare-leg look with a faint pattern; black is the classic under dark trousers and skirts and matches black tights and boots.
