Just for interest the socks without feet are 'hose tops': to be worn with shorts/kilt and army boots. In English units the turn over bit would be in the regimental colour. Then puttees round the ankle.

If really cold/snowy-would not gaiters or puttees be better?

For those leg warmers look as it they would attract snow-and be horrid when things started to thaw out?
