As fashion keeps moving forward we see some innovations that stay with us and are generally considered really smart, like the evolution of the skirt, and some that well aren’t, looking at you here JNCO. With that in mind, Japanese manufacturer Erimaki Sox has just released a new line of collared socks available with a lace, button down, or sailor suit styled collar. The lace collar is available in a number of colors with each having its own fanciful needlework pattern while the eye catching sailor style is available in just white and navy, but I want to focus on the button down style for a moment. With the button down collar style being available in a number of formal business colors, it seems like something out of an early 20th century “What will the world be like in the year 2000?” prompt that adding collars to our socks would be the peak of professional dress as we jet to our moon offices in our flying cars.
So what do you think about these socks? Are they simply a cute, novelty piece for impressing friends at parties and casual events or the future of business attire throughout the world? If you’re not willing to bet on these taking the world by storm, but are still in need of either some traditional dress socks or attention grabbing novelty socks we have a wide selection of both.
