Actually, your sock doesn’t strictly have to be colourful to give off a number of benefits, but it is a nice visual addition that only adds to the positive list. It is the feet that are key to a warm body when you feel cold, and it is the feet that have to be able to breathe properly in a nice material for you to not feel sweaty and uncomfortable. With the right socks that are both comfortable and colourful, you have a winning combination. 

While it can seem trivial and a bit boring to choose socks and you might give in to the urge of buying them mass-produced on offer, it is also great to have socks you do not mind showing. Let us say, purely hypothetical of course, that you are not just wearing socks to protect your feet and keep warm. Let us imagine that you wear socks as part of a thought-out outfit that you don’t want to have spoiled by some cheap socks that once upon a time were pitch black but now remind you of your grandmother’s grey hair. Go look for a pair of colourful socks not just for your outfit’s sake but also for your mood. 

Brighten your day and others with a bit of colour on your feet. Let bright pink and green dots be sprinkled all over your feet or wear a dancing pickle. The options are plentiful and even a bit silly when you really dive into the sock market. But don’t fret, there’s also less eventful socks for the more subtle sock wearer. Choose a green sock with a little embroidered cow on it, or a bright yellow sock with a light pink reinforced heel and a dog walker running with a dog on a leash. 

Wear socks as more than just a feet friend

When you get to really explore the options of sock patterns and embroideries you will probably think that it is impossible to choose. That’s why you should never settle for one pair. if need be, morph yourself into your dad and wish for socks this Christmas or for your next Birthday. If you are so lucky that your feet are set on a shoe and sock size, you can even wish for socks with bounty beaches and other summer motifs for Christmas. 

When investing in socks made with great materials, you are having them for longer and you don’t have to keep buying the bulk ones all the time. Look for materials that are breathable such as cotton, so that you don’t get sweaty feet. It’s also a good idea to look for reinforced heels and toes, as these are the main places to walk holes in. 

In the olden days socks were a part of what protected your feet from stones and other obstacles on your hunting route. Nowadays we use socks for a lot of different reasons. Compression socks are used for medical reasons, sports socks are used to transport sweat away from your feet and keep them dry and supported, and silly socks with patterns and embroideries have the function of making you happy and brightening your outfit and your day.
