Wearing a statement coat with an empty ensemble creates a fashion statement
In the ever-evolving world of fashion, one item has been making a comeback as a style statement - socks. From their humble beginnings as functional foot coverings to their recent resurgence as a sartorial focal point, socks have had quite the journey.
Historically, socks originated in ancient Greece and Rome as warm and protective footwear, but it wasn't until the Middle Ages that they became more common, primarily among the wealthy. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, sports like baseball popularised socks, making them an essential part of uniforms and even a team identity marker.
The 1990s saw a revival of sock fashion, with socks becoming a bold fashion accessory. Layered socks, athletic socks, bright neon colors, and novelty prints were all the rage, reflecting a sporty yet playful style.
Fast forward to the 21st century, and sock styles have become more diverse. While some sports continue traditional high-sock looks, casual fashion includes socks mostly hidden by full-length pants or cuffed styles to show socks selectively.
In this modern fashion landscape, socks have found a new home in outfits. For instance, a recent ensemble includes Mejuri Thin Dome Rings, Jenny Bird Medium Tome Earrings, a hoodie from Aritzia, the Chan Luu Merida Beaded Necklace in Iolite/Silver, a crew waist tee from Aritzia, and New Balance 530 Sneakers.
The Chan Luu Merida Beaded Necklace, usually priced at $300.00, is currently on sale for $166.60. Another similar option for a Vintage Pave Ring can be found in the Quince 14k Gold Micro Pave Ring.
Aritzia Unwind Socks, perfect for slouchy ankles and pairing well with sneakers and Birkenstock Boston clogs, are also part of this outfit.

So, the next time you're getting dressed, don't forget to give your socks a second look - they might just be the missing piece to your outfit.
In this modern lifestyle, socks breathe life into outfits, not just for functionality but as a fashion-and-beauty element. For instance, Aritzia Unwind Socks add a touch of un-fancy charm to a casual wardrobe. Meanwhile, the choice of style for socks, home decor, and garden accessories could reflect your overall unfancy lifestyle.
