Purchased half dozen pairs in shades of purple just because of the description.  Was ever so pleased when they arrived -- color is vibrant, fit is perfect, and texture is luxurious for an everyday sock.  This is definitely a grown-up version of the ankle sock we so loved as girls.  Just enough lycra to retain fit and shape; yet warmer and more durable than nylon pant socks.  They are the right weight to wear with loafers or sneakers with just the right pop of color.  Order six more and replacing all the other socks (except the heavy wool ones) in my sock drawer.
