Fashion Column Twins: A lesson in colorful socks

As the weather gets cooler outside, that means one thing: time to layer up and accessorize with pieces such as hats, jackets and socks. That’s right — socks.

Socks have come a long way in the world of accessories and don’t have to be boring colors that match your outfit anymore. That’s why we love Sock 101.

Some of the colorful Sock 101 women's socks available for pre-sale.

The Kansas City-born company sells stylish socks for men in all kinds of fun prints that spruce up and add pop to a look while still being professional. The Sock 101 men’s line is available at Weaver’s and can also be purchased online at sock101.com.

The thing we love about socks is how by wearing a fun print, you can show off your personality and creativity. If you or your loved one are stuck wearing suits on a daily basis, try a pair of fun socks to add a little flair to your look. You could also pair these stylish socks with a more casual look of jeans and a top. Nothing is better than sitting down and having a stylish, bold print peeping out from under your jeans. It will be a conversation starter if nothing else.

These also make very affordable gifts, something to keep in mind with the holidays approaching. You may also want to consider using these trendy socks for a special occasion such as a wedding. Having all of your groomsmen wearing stylish socks would make for great photos.

We are most excited that Sock 101 is coming out with a women’s line! We love their men’s line but believe women are also in need of fun, stylish, affordable socks to show off as well. They are in the beginning phase of rolling out their women’s line and have started a campaign on Indigogo to get the line off the ground.

If you’re all about stylish socks like we are, then head on over to sock101.com to see how you can help get this started. There are many different options to choose from at various price points starting at only $29 for four pairs of socks of your choice, which includes their new women’s line. We love shopping and helping a great cause, so it’s a win-win!

The Sock 101 women’s line has stylish knee-high boot socks for only $10 and calf-height socks for only $7. These are a must-have accessory for fall. The knee-highs are super cute when worn under tall boots and are a huge trend this season. Wear them peeking out of your boots to show what style of sock you chose.

Whichever style of sock you choose, don’t forget that socks are the perfect accessory just like hats, jewelry or bags. They are unique and can bring a lot to an otherwise boring look.

In the words of Sock 101 founders, sock on!
