Whats Your View on Novelty Socks?

Ask a Question

As we are large family I struggle sorting out socks for everyone. I tend to leave them in a pile so everyone gets their own. I personally love novelty socks as they don’t get mixed up with all the others.

I absolutely love them, just because they are funky. I wear them all the time. I even have Xmas ones

possy I have loads and Christmas ones as well which are worn at anytime. The only time I wear white ankle socks is at the gym but that’s not very often, the gym that is not the socks!

That’s a good point about them not getting mixed up. For me i just buy all black socks, that way they always look like a pair when i wear whatever socks

jms19 love that idea. My oh wears black and the kids often wear only black socks so it's trying to make them match for the right person

Jerseydrew It drives me mad, then I’m in wrong when I get it wrong but they all look the same to me. They sometimes get it wrong themselves which is funny.

I would only wear them in bed. I’m not a fan. Where can you wear them? Christmas is also only once a year so looks out of place.

JLouM When I say novelty socks, I mean anything that isn’t plain black or white really. Most of my socks have eyes. A few have ears. My family know to buy me these ones.

LL81 I saw the ones you are talking about recently. I think it was Tik tok video and someone had won them. I must admit they did look hideous.

They’re fun to gift people and a lot of them find them quite personal gifts to give

eyeballkerry I've got lots of zipped plastic boxes that I got from B&M. There really useful have them in separate boxes depending on what type of socks there are.

They are definitely easier to identify when making pairs of socks up. But I must admit, I prefer plain socks
