London fashion has always been a little bit different to other parts of the UK, especially when it comes to socks. The most popular styles seem to be knee-high socks worn with tights and glistening with rhinestones, or knee-high stockings worn with leggings. When you think of rhinestones though, you probably think of hip hop and urban wear and this is where the trend started back in the 90s when celebrities such as Nelly, Elle Macpherson and Pierce Brosnan were seen wearing them on TV. The fashion seemed to take off from there and became popular with the public who saw celebrity after celebrity wearing the glittering material on TV and in the shops. These days though, the fashion is more relaxed but still captures the essence of what makes fashion great – comfort, style and luxury. This article discusses some of the latest trends in luxury socks.
High end fashion has always been associated with wool and it’s true that designer labels have always had extensive ranges of wool products including socks and scarves. Wearing a wool scarf can give an individual an instantly luxurious look and feel, and many people are choosing to incorporate wool into their own wardrobe and accessories. Luxury wool scarves are now available in all the traditional styles like argyle and crew neck, but they’re also available in modern and contemporary looks which show a renewed interest in luxury and fashion. Cashmere wool is also a popular option for luxury socks because cashmere is so soft and warm and because it doesn’t stain as easily as other man-made materials such as polyester. In fact, it’s even possible to wash cashmere without any detergent at all – simply throw it into the washing machine and dry it naturally.
Wearing a hosiery sock is also a great idea because it helps keep feet warm and dry. A hosiery sock usually covers the entire foot from ankle to toe and because it’s so bulky it keeps your foot warm even during the coldest winter months. Wearing a hosiery sock is a great way to avoid catching colds and stay healthy. It has been shown that people who wear woolen socks enjoy a longer life span. So when you’re next planning a stocking stuffer or simply want to dress up a pair of socks this winter, consider purchasing a pair of luxury socks.
