Which PAIR do you WEAR??

THE MOST???? Of the many pairs of socks that stuff my drawers, fill my closet, overflow from various containers/shelves/boxes… I’ve noticed that I seem to wear these (the rose/charcoal Super Stripes) the most often recently. They are so comfy and they actually fit my feet, legs, and yes.. they do go over my knees further than just half an inch or so :O)

The elastic on the top has begun to go a bit wonky and shows how often I’ve worn/washed them. I’ve stitched up wear holes in the feet… and they’ve been ‘tug-O-war’d’ with Vel many times too (close inspection shows the tiny teeth marks to prove his victories). This is the pair I grab when my feet (or legs) are cold at night, the pair I throw on to wear for the quick trip to the laundry, to the store, over to the neighbors, and to walk Vel. This is also the pair I reach for when I don’t want to wear out another pair of socks that I’m “saving” for some special occasion. All this time of wearing them again and again have made these one of my most frequent favorites this year. As a matter of fact, I am wearing them right now! (Had to get em away from Vel first though).

So I was just wondering about you guys…
Which pair do YOU wear the most??

    Oh yes the Super Marled!! Just the mention of them makes me want to put them on… I’ve never experienced such divine cushiness in an OTK sock before.

  2. cherry Says:

    i also LOVE eg tights. i wear them everyday…definitely time for a few new pairs.

  3. ladawn Says:

    actually…i wore out the seafoam otks first…

  4. Karen Dawn Says:

    I’m loving the Teal O Marled. I just got them last month, and I already have another pair in black on the way. Also getting quite a lot of wear have been my Double Grey M Stripes.

    EG: good news! you can get the jambieres from ozone’s website: http://www.ozonesocks.com/rc/product_detail.cgi?cat1=2&cat2=3&id=75&try=1&cont=%2Frc%2Fproduct_category.php%3Fcat1%3D2%26cat2%3D3%26page%3D1&nc=1142545040

    Ozone is still selling them??? they told me they were all gone ~:( I’m metting with their rep this weekend at the big Portland Shoe Show so maybe I’ll get better news from him…

  7. Niq Says:

    …oh, wait, I’m thinking of the surprise ribs. I stopped ordering the Jambieres because of quality issues.

  8. Loriana Says:

    I wear my Super Marled the most. They’re super comfy and go allll the way up! Ribbed M Stockings are great, too. :)

  9. Rebeckah Says:

    THIGH-HIGH CHENILLES!!????!!!!! I think I’d have a leg-gasm! I’ve been dreaming of those ever since I saw the santa ones on another site. You just keep bringing in better and better socks.

  10. Sierra Says:

    I have been contemplating getting the cashmere black knee/otks for awhile. I adore my Cashmere sweater and would love a pair..or five..

  11. nicole Says:

    I wear my Green Knees in Gray on my right leg and my Green Knees in Double Green on my left most of the time. The greens seem softer than the other color Knees. And they look fab together!!

  12. EG Says:

    Sierra, I would say go for it. I debated getting those gorgerous Jambiere angora ones for so long. Every time I saw photos, or that Niq mentioned them, I drooled, Yet I waited… I even bought my sister a pair for a gift, but just kept procrastinating on getting my own. Unfortunately I waited too long and now they are gone. I really am kicking myself for that one. I guess I’ll just have to go raid my sisters closet one of these days, but I’m pretty sure my niece will have gotten there first (she has such good taste)… tee hee :O)

  13. Holly Says:

    I love my Ribbed M Stockings because they’re cushy, and they stay up very well. I have them in a few colors, and I wear them often.

  14. Sierra Says:

    My white,black and Sky blue o basics.

  15. EG Says:

    wow!!! thanks for all the responses!! It’s so interesting to see what you all are wearing. I don’t think I’d ever be able to pick just one favorite… but it was easier to pick out the pair I wear the most (which is how my post got started). Although I love these superstripes that Vel is modeling, they are not my absolute favorite pair (though I am just crazy about the way they fit and feel)… they are simply the pair I wear the most. If/when we get in the thigh high chenilles, I have a feeling that they may soon become one of the pairs I wear the most too.

  16. Babylon Says:

    whatever’s clean and been de-pilled ;P usually something warm

  17. Niq Says:

    I don’t think I have a fav lately, true to my Libra nature I have lots of favorites ~:)
    …but if I *had* to pick just one it’d be O Marled for sure!

  18. daisy Says:

    my Leg Avenue micro spandex tights in pink. they’re easily the comfiest tights I’ve ever owned (they accomodate my big thighs with ease) and they go with everything. i wish they came in pale blue. and tangerine. and stripes, of course. tangerine and light pink stripes. or fuchsia. or canteloupe! oo! come to think of it, orange knees w/ pink (or pink knees w/ tangerine) would be great, too.

  19. Alexandra Says:

    Discontinued orange and ecru striped knee highs with fake-looking animal print tops! I got the last pair and I was so glad, because I just adore them!

  20. Shannon Says:

    My black w/white striped o chevrons, or my red with black detail o chevrons… or my pink and red pink knees… all of the above are starting to wear out =( so sad. hehe Oh…or my chenille arm warmers, but those arent socks O.O. They almost never come off though!

  21. heidi Says:

    i wear my black o basics the most. they are so comfy and, well, basic. my toetoe rainbows and black & five colour toes come in a close second.

  22. shelleopard not-at-home Says:

    i probably wear my A chevrons and Slouch Socks the most…i hardly wear my longsocks anymore cuz i save them! lol..

  23. Anamorphosis Says:

    The one’s I wear the *most* were discontinued, I think. They are the wide striped knee highs. Mine are in blue and navy stripes and they are still thick and wooley warm with neary a sign of toe thinning even after three years of very hard wear.
