It is known that we wear leggings in winter and rely on layering outfits when the temperature drops. Wearing sweaters over carefully coordinated shirts and blouses, with dark, thick stockings under over-the-knee boots, is a common practice in winter that we are accustomed to. However, wearing colorful or patterned thick stockings in summer 2023 will be a new and unfamiliar trend. Are you ready to try this trend?
