Sock Fashion Trends – A Stylish And Economical Craze

Fashion trends are normally started by celebrities, movie stars, and of course, by fashion designers, but we must not overlook the fact that consumers set trends too. The same applies to sock fashion trends. In the last couple of years, hosiery has stepped over into the accessory trend and is now considered a necessity. Consumers know that leg-wear is a stylish and economical way to accessorize. Capturing the pulse of consumers, most manufactures and retailers have also been successful in converting consumer needs into a fashionable sock trend.

Boot socks, knee high socks, over-the knee-high socks, tights and sheers are a popular way to accessorize ankle-length to over-the-knee boots. The look of skirts also can be accentuated with knee-high socks, tights or sheers. Layering is a fashion style, where in socks and tights can be layered to create a variety of fashionable statements. Paul Lavitt Mills is offering a roll-top sock in several styles that can be worn over other socks as well has an open weave tight, which can be worn over other tights, keeping in the trend.

Sock manufacturers are designing and creating surface textures with yarns that create visual interest. Consumers look for fashion combined with comfort in their socks, and soft, elegant yarns will again be dominating trends. Mohair, Angora, Wool and Wool blends will be popular fibers in socks. Neuville Industries is using an acrylic blend to make socks that look like Angora but those are more reasonably priced. Paul Lavitt Mills has a Moroccan group of socks that are accented with knit-in bits of Lurex creating the look of fashionable jewelry on the sock.
