Looking for a bit of advice!
I was prescribed class 2 compression socks last year for varicose veins. I have been pretty rubbish at wearing them every day but I'm really trying to do it now because I can see another purpley patch developing below my ankle. Problem is, my prescribed socks are black and it's summer. I feel like I can't wear cropped jeans/trousers or dresses now. I spent hours at the weekend trying to find a pair of class 2 sheer nude type knee high stockings and a pair of similar tights, so that I can wear some summery things. They came today and still like American tan tights colour! I'm a peely wally Northern European skin type. What do folk do? I'm not one for wearing shorts or getting my legs out but I do like a cropped trouser in summer or a longish dress.
My questions are:
Does anyone know of a sheer properly pale/nude compression sock they would recommend?
Could I just get some support tights/stockings from Boots for the days that I want to wear something more summery?
Does it matter if I don't wear them the odd day?
Do I just accept that I have to replace all my trousers with long length?
Can't lie, prospect of not being able to wear sandals again is pretty depressing. I know you can get open toe ones but don't find it comfortable walking on the seam and they look kind of goofy.
I would be so grateful for some insight and advice on this. Thank you!
