Like any sort of fashion element, socks are a sign of the times. Long socks; short socks. Seamed stockings for the ladies; colorful Argyle socks for men. Brightly colored, weird and wacky socks for the kids; or, just plain ‘ol white athletic socks. Times change and sock preferences change, too.
Current choices in the sock world run the entire spectrum of color and design. One thing we are seeing a lot more of atop the toes today are fashion theme socks. People have personalities to express and are stepping out of the norm every now and then by adding color and whimsy to their wardrobe. They don’t have to wear these novelty socks everyday, but fun fashion socks bring a spark of adventure to an otherwise boring day.
If you see a certain selection of colors or patterns in numerous stores, on Internet sites, or in printed catalogs, you can be sure that is the newest, coolest trend.
If you are crazy about animals or cars, a specific sporting team or favorite vacation destination, you can tell the world about it with these miniature billboards on your feet. And this trend isn’t just limited to children and women.
The same is true for the opposite sex. Men can have fun with their socks, too. In the workplace, we see bolder stripes or patterns that fit with a tie or accents the shirt color. For off hours and weekends, guys often show their die-hard team spirit by wearing an athletic-theme sock.
It’s easier, of course, for children to “be cool” with their socks. Younger girls have always enjoyed patterned tights and socks available in a rainbow range of colors and whimsical, patterned designs. Boys are getting in on the “cool” factor, too, with theme socks.
The rapidly changing selection of cool socks also includes variations in sock shapes. Toe socks, where they are sewn to have a small, separate section to enclose each individual toe, have made a comeback in recent years. Many times, these eye-catchers are worn with open toe shoes and sandals to ensure they grab a lot of attention.
Glamour is also cool in today’s fashion socks. For the die-hard diva look, there is an array of socks with feather trim, jewels, beads and lace. Ladies have taken to these socks just as much as little girls.
