Leg Avenue Nylon Over The Knee

Over the knee nylon in neon green or neon blue, which is not a color scheme anyone chooses by accident. These run past the knee and land on the lower thigh, so there is a clear band of skin above them and that contrast is the entire look.

Neon is built for dark rooms and UV light, so these belong at a club night, a rave themed party, or a festival where the outfit is meant to be seen from a distance. Keep the rest flat and dark and let the legs carry the color. With shorts or a mini skirt they read as a full outfit, and with a boot they turn sportier. Roll them up from the toe instead of dragging them from the top, and hand wash in cool water then lay flat to dry so the color stays bright.

Bright nylon fades fast when it is made cheaply, going chalky after a couple of washes. A properly dyed neon holds its saturation, which is the only thing that matters in a sock whose whole purpose is to be seen.
