The joy of socks

Maybe I’m getting old but I saw a trendy respectable guy, and thought, yeah, I could see myself leaning on a stool like that, wearing cool socks.

It’s a small thing but lockdown has hit my love of socks.

I actually want them as presents. Good quality bright/funky socks are a good present!

Wearing a shirt/tie to work, socks were a chance to brighten things up. Now I just sit in joggers and a tshirt all day.

But if these become available, I’ll buy them and make sure I wear them when defending Monzo. Like Superman getting changed to protect The Daily Planet.

Did you have such a tough day that you just fell asleep on the keyboard?

I think it’s morse code for “wibble”

I used a morse translator and couldn’t get it to work quite but the bottom bit I think is send socks.

It should actually be (seem some triple dot autocorrects in there also the website I used didn’t like 3 dashes in a row…)

This is dedication that I can only hope to achieve some day

My dad has been relearning morse code and mentioned it a few times. I didn’t think of it but your comment made me have a look.

I know it has been a long time, but lets talk socks Autumn '23.

During the summer I live in Balega Hidden Comfort - which I adore. They are incredibly comfortable, like my foot is getting a hug all day but without getting sweaty. They wash well and last for years. They don’t really do normal length socks.

But for autumn and winter this year I have decided I want something better than generic cheap socks which feel amazing for the first two washes then start falling apart/getting caught on nails/getting holes etc etc.

What is a good sock for cooler weather? It needs lots of nice cushioning, and is for general wear (not sports specific).

I am extremely down for a revived sock thread.

Picked up these Tube socks at the Transport Museum a few weeks ago and am a massive fan.

Oooh these look nice. Might have to give them a try! Lululemon is my usual go-to for hiking socks, but variety is always good!

Is that £28 for one pair?

It is very pricey but then again, what you said above is making me want to give them a go…
