Varicose veins - tips for stylish outfits

Beauty/Fashion

Hi there! 35F / Caucasian /Canada here. After having my second child at 30, I started getting varicose veins and spider veins in my legs. I had the varicose veins removed surgically when I was 30/31. Now I am 35 and more have developed. I honestly don’t care about the spider veins but the varicose veins are ugly and super uncomfortable. It’s summer now and they get worse in the heat.

I find knee high compression socks help, however I’m having a hard time getting creative and finding stylish and comfortable ways to dress for the summer while also reducing that heavy, achy feeling in my lower legs. Any tips on what kind of light, stylish bottoms I could wear that I could hide my compression socks under? Other creative suggestions appreciated.

Ps - I will be following up with my doctor about surgical removal again. I am waiting for gallbladder surgery first and then will look into addressing the veins. Good times.
