Socks for Christmas? Yes or No?

Friday, 27 November 2015

Socks as a gift for Christmas? It's become fashionable to scoff; but why? Socks are an essential part of the wardrobe, providing colour and style (as well as preventing blisters and odorous shoes). 


The more traditional among us will wear socks blending with our trousers - according to some stylists it lengthens the leg - an unlikely claim. Much better is to express your personality by showing a flash of colour between trousers and shoes. And this is the key. Socks' bad name as a Christmas gift came about because they became the last resort of the chronically unimaginative - and with no thought behind them of course they become boring gifts. And yet a little thought, matching sock to recipient, makes socks an ideal and interesting gift.


And socks are sexy, of course. David Gandy's favourite socks are supplied by The London Sock Co whose selection is outstanding, stylish and very tasteful.

Think about the personality and choose accordingly. Be bold, give socks for Christmas. With thanks to The London Sock Co for supporting Grey Fox Blog.

    Yes, indeed! Quality socks are a wonderful thing to give AND receive. I'm hoping Father Christmas might leave a pair or two of colorful Merino wool to-the-knee Argyll socks in my stocking this year.

    Best Regards,
