In an Instagram post of the couple standing outside Raffles The Palm Dubai, where they stayed on Thursday, El Moussa is wearing a pair of black knee-high compression socks, commonly used during air travel to prevent swelling and for various other health reasons.
Some commenters on the post decided to poke fun at the clothing item. “Nice socks!! Lol,” wrote one. While another asked, “Are you wearing compression socks?”

He then clarified his reason for sporting the item is a health condition: “I wear these socks because I suffered from clasped veins and when I fly I have to wear them to prevent blood clots. I have thick skin so go say whatever you want but in the future you might want to rethink judging someone for wearing something that physically helps them.”
