It’s too warm for those boots you’ve been slogging around in all winter, too cold for summery open-toe shoes, and too far from Port Richmond to walk around barefoot.

Create your own happy medium with Emilio Cavallini’s line of Ides of March-friendly hosiery. The ankle- and calf-height nylons in sheers, nudes, pastels, and brilliant blues, greens, and oranges are ideal foot protection.

The look is a little Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, but that’s the whole point. Add something special to heels with the sheer nude socks with woven-in buttons and bows. Or wear a brightly colored, ruched, calf-high pair with your ballet slippers for a look that’s irreverent without being silly.

And enough to put spring in anyone’s step.
