"It's kinda cute."
"This is nice!"
"So warm!"
The women, now changed into their outfits, looked at each other and shared their thoughts one after another. They seemed to like it overall.
Knee-high socks originally came from otaku culture. In games, female characters' standing sprites often only showed them from the thighs up. So, longer socks were used. Even during a time of harsh otaku criticism, these socks gained huge support from men and slowly became part of real women's fashion.
(Hmm, they keep the cuteness but add a touch of elegance.)
With knee-length skirts, the legs are fully covered by the socks. This keeps the beautiful curves of a woman's legs while hiding bare skin, adding a sense of refinement. It balanced cuteness and elegance perfectly.
"I could probably go outside in these," one said.
Reina hopped around happily, her skirt fluttering. She seemed to love them too.
"But people might still stare at us," another said.
"Yeah, probably," someone agreed.
