Legwarmer recommendations

2 replies

Can anyone recommend some legwarmers to replace a pair I've somehow lost? Criteria:

  • cotton or wool or a mix
  • thick knit/ribbed look or maybe cable-knit; just not a smooth fine knit
  • slim-fitting to the leg, not slouchy/baggy
  • ideally a wide hem/turnover bit at the top, IYSWIM
  • black or dark grey
  • knee-length not over-the-knee
  • footless not stirrup
  • sadly, high-street budget not designer/luxury (otherwise I'd love cashmere or alpaca ones!)


Thanks!

Falke is a good brand:

Or have a look at Sockshop:

Speaking from experience, thick cotton legwarmers take days to dry in winter, if you line-dry laundry.

Thank you! Yes, now you say that, I'm having flashbacks to waiting for my old ones to dry... Grin
