Details:

• Contents: 3 pairs of knee socks
• One size for adults
• Officially licensed DC product
• Packaging: gift box, no extra paper needed

All three pairs reach just below the knee. That is a deliberate difference from the usual licensed socks: a knee sock shows the motif along its full length instead of letting it disappear into the shoe. With a skirt, with shorts or under boots the pattern comes into its own; if you prefer something quieter, fold the leg over once and wear them at calf height.

Kara Zor-El is Superman's cousin and, like him, came to Earth from Krypton as a child. She wears the same crest and has the same abilities — and in the comics a considerably more rebellious history than her famous relative. Thanks to the series and films of recent years she has long stood on her own rather than as an add-on. That independence is exactly what the set picks up on in its colours.

Supergirl merchandise usually comes in the same red and blue tones as Superman's. This set deliberately goes another way and works with rose, pink and magenta — including the box. As a result it feels less like a derived side product and more like a line of its own. The Superman crest still reads instantly, because only the colour changes, not the shape.

Krypto is Superman's dog and, like him, comes from the planet Krypton. He wears the same red cape, can fly and has held his place in the comics since the 1950s. Since the film about the super pets, children who have never held a comic know him too — which is why the third pair is often the first one pulled out of the box.

For comic readers, for anyone who cheers along at the cinema, and for anyone who would rather wear colour than grey. As a birthday present, to mark a passed exam, or simply as a gift that says more than a box of chocolates. Because the box comes in the shape of the crest, it needs no wrapping paper.

• Wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag — the knitted motifs stay sharp.
• Do not tumble dry, or the cuff at the knee quickly loses its tension.
• To fold them over, make one wide fold so the leg does not slip down.
• After unpacking, the box works nicely for hair clips, pins or jewellery.
• Do not wash the light pairs with dark laundry before their first wash.
