The period of the pandemic very much affected fashion in general, everyone began to dress more simply, as for a long time all events were canceled and bars and cafes were closed, some even switched to remote work. And to go to the store for groceries complex sets of clothes are not necessary. In the spring period, people stopped thinking at all about what to go outside in, and as a consequence – slates with socks.

Why did sports socks become a trend this year?

Today, such an accessory can be seen not only on the athlete, but also on a person who is not involved in sports. It all started a year earlier, during quarantine. Finding ourselves in isolation, we began to pay attention to small things, and we wanted a feeling of coziness, warmth and comfort, so tracksuits, pajamas, comfortable slippers and, of course, socks, including sports socks, became sales leaders.

With the removal of restrictions, the trend has not disappeared anywhere, but on the contrary – in the first quarter of 2021, sales of sock products increased by 24%. Therefore, socks do not just complement the image, but also “convey” individuality. In this respect, sports socks are in a favorable situation: their advantage lies not only in their stylish appearance, but also in their special comfort.

What can be combined with sports socks in everyday life?

Sportswear has long gone beyond the gym – today it is common to experiment and choose sports for everyday and weekend outfits, and sometimes make sportswear the basis of evening images. Socks have become an indispensable element of integrating sports into our closet. We tell you what you can and should wear them with today.

With fur flip-flops

Fur shoes should be bright, so that its uniqueness and unusualness emphasized white sports socks. Wear this tandem with monochrome tracksuits or with any casual clothes.

With shoes

When wearing socks with shoes, don’t forget that this was done in the 60s, so choose shoes of vintage shapes and models. Considering that now the fashion of this time is making a comeback, you will be on trend.

With sneakers

Designers recommend choosing socks of the same shades as sneakers. Then they will merge with a pair of shoes, and you will get an unusual model.

With futuristic slates

The slates created by the American rapper do not have any unnecessary details, so to make the image unique, it is worth adding socks of bright colors. At the same time, things can be chosen from a different color scheme.

With loafers

If you need to go to some important event, socks with loafers will make your image more official. Match black loafers with white socks and a classic shirt. And if you like to be in the center of attention, choose bright socks and loafers made of treated leather.

With sandals

In this case, you can choose socks with a print or striped design. And the whole image should be kept in the same colors as the socks. Then everything will look harmonious and stylish.

World brands have adopted street style trends, so in lookbooks we can see that socks have become the main accessory and the element of the image that catches the eye. I recommend adding sports socks to your looks, but it’s important to remember that the look should be functional, as well as harmonize with the rest of your clothes. I, first of all as a girl and then as a stylist, can say that 80% of a woman’s self-confidence is given by her external image: clothes, makeup, styling and accessories. So of course, if she is confident that she can present her image correctly with shoes and sports socks, then this style experience is doomed to success.
