Fashion designers are starting to take notice of the appeal of Irish socks. The Irish have long been renowned for their fashion sense and sock wear is no exception. A new look is arising in the design world for this winter with an emphasis on the iris, and this new approach draws upon many of the traditional patterns and colors, while at the same time offering modern twists on some of the more popular styles. Let’s take a look at some of the new trends we’ve seen in irish socks:
With so many different patterns and colors available, one would think that this would be too much to ask for, but not so with some of the new designs. The new Irish artisanal design combines the tradition of color and shape with the latest technology and uses this to their advantage to create some truly unique designs that have never really been seen before. One example would be the iris design that is featured on several pairs of Irish socks that have been crafted by Irish artisans. The shape of the flowers is circular, symbolizing the circle of life, and each pair of socks is crafted using an individual set of irises that have been carefully tied together to ensure that they have a certain degree of uniqueness.
Another current trend is the iris design that was originally inspired by the Victorian era and used as a theme for Irish women’s panties. It has now taken on a whole new look, taking its place beside the classic shamrock in the ever-popular Irish fashion accessory. As well as this iris, we’ve also seen the classic valleys, which come in varying sizes, shapes and colors to match the style of the rest of the socks. Finally, the new kite design will be making its way into many of the new Irish fashion collections. It makes use of the traditional tassel and color motifs, and some have even made it as part of their Christmas tree decorations. So for those looking for a contemporary twist on an Irish fashion design that has been with us for hundreds of years, Irish socks are the answer!
