The Canadian are more and more passionate about pocks. 20 years ago, socks were just a utility accessory, a forced purchase so as not to hurt your shoes. So why today are our socks a real fashion accessory?
In companies, it is not uncommon to come across a group of colleagues complimenting each other on their socks. Unimaginable in our parents' time talking about this intimate accessory! And anyway, the conversation would have ended quickly: all the socks were black, to go unnoticed.
Why this phenomenon? What are the current trends? And you, are you in fashion this summer?
The madness of custom socks
The trend started around 10 years ago when the first custom socks invaded Fashion Week. Models parading with socks in their pumps: unheard of at the time! Since then, wearing a sock has become a staple of parades.
From the catwalks, the sock quickly took the step towards our daily life. As of 2012, this allowed the footwear sector to rebound, while the textile industry was in decline. A miracle. Why have we adopted this fashion for custom socks so quickly and so strongly? For an economic question: unlike a handbag, a dress or a coat, the sock makes it possible to be fashionable for a much more limited budget.Wearing socks is one of the trends, season after season, like a slap on convention. The planet Instagram even upgraded the sock to the rank of the strongest fashion accessory of the 2019 season.
What trend this summer?
Combining socks with summer does not only revive glamorous memories… We can immediately imagine the camper in socks in his sandals or his sneakers.This summer, the most daring dare to wear socks with open sandals or even tap dancing. We are far from fashion faux-pas, but rather at the heart of a very sharp fashion look. You wear your sock-like a real jewel. Glitter socks bring a touch of glamor to our outfits and can be worn with sneakers as well as derbies or sandals.
The socks are lurex, transparent, printed, striped, lace, plumetis, mesh, frills, frills ... And in all possible colors! Models multiply and transform our outfits to give them pep.The ideal is to combine your socks with a skirt or a dress, on a bare and loose leg in order to enhance them, if not, what is the point of having beautiful socks? Side shoe, you can opt for pumps or clogs revisited as at Prada, or sandals with straps or mules for a summer look. With the pumps, we will favor sober socks and solid tones, so as not to overdo it and stay chic!
If you prefer flat shoes, you will not be outdone. You can adopt a slightly less offbeat look and easier to wear with visible socks in your sneakers, your oxfords or even your derbies.The important thing is to choose original socks to bring a touch of retro fantasy to your figure. Because the summer sock has a real vintage spirit. It does not refer to the campsite mentioned above, but to the 1950s when we wore white socks in sandals. So, ready for the fashion of visible socks?
Do not hide them anymore, make them a stylish weapon instead! And why not also an ideological weapon? Because in addition to the fashion side, wearing socks can display your convictions and especially ecological.The observation is there: the manufacture of cotton depletes our water reserves. A pair of cotton socks of 60 g would require 1350 liters of water or more than 6 baths! 20% of global water pollution comes from textiles, due to dyes.
