This “20 Days of Christmas” post is by my favorite gal, Michelle at Wicked Whimsy (formerly Decline Designs!). Stop by her site, tell her you adore her (like I do!), and show her some love for this wonderful gift post! (I know I wouldn’t say no to any of these….)
I know what you’re thinking. “Legwear?! That’s just a fancy term for socks. Are you suggesting I buy people SOCKS for Christmas?! Is this a plot to get me ignored and reviled by my friends and family?”
Legwear might be a fancy term for socks, but I guarantee that these would be fabulous gifts for anyone with legs.
We Love Colors – Splash Metallic Thigh Highs
As of the effect of wearing a galaxy on your legs wasn’t cool enough, I’m pretty sure metallics are still in. And at $12.50, these would be a great stocking stuffer!
Sock Dreams – Crochet Lover Over the Knees
These lacy wonders have a solid sole, for better wearing, & a relatively high cotton content (say that three times fast) at 65%. Which is good for those with sensitive skin or just plain picky tendencies. Sock Dreams also has some gorgeous solid colored lace topped OTK socks as well. And at $14 and $15 respectively, they certainly won’t break the bank.
Ashes and Empires – Lucia Leather & Herringbone Military Style Spats
These are for the discerning legwear connoisseur and are a little on the pricier end. However, they’re also handmade in the USA with high quality materials – so that’s to be expected! Gorgeous, high quality spats can transform a pair of plain black pumps into absolute statement shoes. Check out the rest of their shop for more yummies.
And how will the recipient hold up their newly received legwear? Why, with some garters of course!
SWANClothing has got you covered with some geek-chic sock garters…
and a some ooh-la-la sexy thigh high garters. $35 for either pair.
The best part? These are all small, independent businesses and/or designers, so you know you won’t end up on Santa’s Naughty list this year!
Thank you again, Michelle!

Oh. My. God. I love the spats, I really do – but, as always, they are absurdly beyond my budget. That is such a shame, I have so many wonderful heels I could wear them with!

First off, my spam word was Fluevogs. I win!
Second, “gifts for anyone with legs” made me choke on my drink. I loled. That *might* make me a bad person. I’m not sure yet.
Third, OMGOMGOMG I want those Ashes and Empires spats like you don’t even know.

I LOVE those thigh highs, but although they might be for all people with legs I’ve yet to find a pair that are any good for people with thighs bigger than their calves. They always cut off my circulation or roll down till they end up round my ankles! :(
Retro Chick´s last blog ..Christmas Trees of the World (ish…)
Love those SwanDiamond garters! I’m in desperate need of a pair with my thigh highs. I always tell people I wouldn’t be mad at all on Christmas if they bought a nice pair of legwear. They always think I mean socks!
Love all this! I have a total thing for tights right now: http://glammed.blogspot.com/search/label/tights
Oh wow, Love the Sock Dreams – Crochet Lover Over the Knees socks. Pretty and Bada**, the perfect combo. (Also love these Plumo tights: http://bit.ly/6KJJOa)
just wanted to say thanks Kirsten <3 and Retro Chick, well if your thigh highs fall down… there are always thigh high garters! and thanks Sheena too <3
