The debate of which is the superior footwear has been going on for some time now. This is due to the ever-changing fashion trends and the fact that there are a number of fashion gurus out there who have never heard the term quarter socks or ankle socks in their entire lives. So which do you think is more fashionable? In this article we’re going to be looking at both of these foot wears and how they have affected fashion trends.
The thing with quarter socks and ankle socks that many people tend to forget is that both of them originate from the same place, which is sock manufacturing. Ankle socks were first created as a way for women (back then it was mostly men) to remove any excess fat that might get through their shoes, thus protecting their feet. Since women have always been more concerned with fit and fashion than men, the demand for these products was high and pretty quickly companies started making both of them. Now they are a staple of every woman’s wardrobe, whether they own a pair of heels or not. For this reason we’ll be focusing on the advantages of wearing quarter socks instead of ankle socks, and why they are still superior to their competitors.
Firstly we’d like to point out that the fashion industry is constantly changing. What is considered ‘mainstream’ today could easily become ‘antique’ tomorrow. This is a result of the way the world works and also the way the world looks at fashion. In times like these it is important for people to experiment and try things to see what works and what doesn’t, and we can’t blame society for being obsessed with vintage fashions. It’s only natural for us to want to adhere to styles that have been around for decades, as well as to try out something a little different nowadays. For this reason we can look back fondly upon the days when jeans were something you’d pick up if you went to parties and now everyone prefers dressy, elegant pants over casual.
