Yellow Nylon Ribbed Ankle Socks

1970s · 1960s-1980s · English

A pair of pale yellow nylon ankle socks featuring vertical ribbing throughout the construction. The socks have a traditional crew height that would sit just above the ankle bone, with reinforced heel and toe areas visible in the knitted structure. The ribbed texture creates vertical lines that run from the cuff opening down to the toe, providing stretch and shape retention typical of mid-century hosiery construction. The nylon material appears lightweight and semi-sheer, characteristic of synthetic stockings that became popular in the post-war period as alternatives to silk and cotton. The construction shows machine knitting with seamless toe finishing.
