Fresh threads? Check.
Well fitted jeans? Check.
Fly kicks? Check.
But what about that small space between the bottom of your jeans and your Grails?
Your socks?
As the streetwear trend continues to blow up, it was inevitable that ‘best streetwear socks’ – the underdog of the accessories world, would be brought under its fold. Just to put it out there, you can never go wrong with classic black or white long socks, also called crew socks, or the very discreet no-show socks also called footie socks or booties. But why stay basic when you can elevate your outfit subtlety or with aplomb. Use that ‘space’ to express your individuality or as a conversation starter, even if you’re wearing formal clothes!
Statement socks have been a trend for a few years now and have become a sneakerhead’s one-two punch to stand out in a rapidly growing community.
A more recent trend has been the ‘socks & slides’ game. And this is where Statement socks truly shine. A name worth mentioning here is Stance, with their wide range and multiple special editions ranging from Star Wars to Fenty and Kith. Streetwear brands like
The Hundreds, Chinatown Market, HUF, Bape are known to drop cool socks. Skate clothing brand RIPNDIP, has found the perfect combination of colours and not so subtle prints in their designs while other streetwear brands play with logos, graphics and typography. RIPNDIP socks come in a range of bright colours suited to summers, featuring their signature cheeky yet beloved cat, Lord Nermal. RIPNDIP socks are the comic relief an everyday outfit could need. RIPNDIP socks with Lord Nermal peeking out from over your shoes to flip the world off, is a great start to your statement socks collection.
