High socks in reinforced Cotton lisle, oxblood red, from the Mazarin brand.
The family of Super-strong socks from Mazarin is expanding with this pair of knee-highs in reinforced Cotton lisle in Vauban red.

You can wear this pair of high socks with a dark outfit for a discreet combination, or with a lighter outfit for a contrast.
