Fashionable...compression?

Graduated compression stockings are ugly, beige, and only for “old people,” right?

Wrong. In the past several years, compression companies, such as Juzo, SIGVARIS, Carolon and Jobst, have been developing stockings and socks in styles, patterns, finishes, and colors that look more like fashion accessories than medical devices (while still being clinically effective when purchased and put on correctly.)

Newer brands like REJUVA and ITEM m6 (a spin-off of compression manufactuer medi) are also taking compression trends to the streets. Both companies were mentioned in an article about compression in the NYTimes Style section!
