Leg Avenue Weiner Dog Knee Highs

Knee highs with a dachshund running around the calf, which is precisely as silly as it sounds and entirely the point. Multicolor, knee high, and guaranteed to be the thing someone asks about first.

Novelty socks work best when the rest of the outfit stays straight, so wear them with plain denim, a simple skirt, or shorts and let the dog do the talking. Knee high length puts the design at the top of the calf, right at eye level once you sit down. They are an easy, low risk gift for someone whose humor you know and whose size you do not. Wash them cool and dry them flat rather than hot, and the colors stay sharp.

Most printed novelty socks fade to a smudge within a month. Knitted in, the design keeps its outline and its color through a proper rotation of wear, which is why these outlast the joke.
