Comfortable support stockings in summer

Why you need support stockings in warm weather

Higher temperatures can lead to an increased risk of swelling in your legs and ankles. When it's warm, the blood vessels in your legs dilate to release heat, which can result in fluid buildup and swelling. Support stockings help regulate this process by applying even pressure to your legs, improving blood circulation, and reducing fluid buildup.

Tips for wearing support stockings

Choose the right material for support stockings

For optimal comfort during the summer months, it's crucial to choose support stockings made from breathable materials like cotton, merino wool, or Dryarn®. Cotton and merino wool naturally offer excellent breathability and help with temperature regulation. Dryarn®, on the other hand, is lightweight and quick-drying, making it ideal for warm days. By selecting support stockings made from these materials, you can keep your legs cool and dry, even in higher temperatures.

Combining support stockings with summer clothing

The days of only having classic medical support stockings in dull colors are thankfully behind us. Nowadays, support stockings come in a variety of styles. Choose fresh summer colors that perfectly match your summer outfits. If you don't have severe complaints or aren't a fan of high stockings under shorts or dresses, try mid-calf or ankle compression socks.
