This seems like one of those First World Problems that cause everyone to raise an eyebrow or roll an eye. And yet.
A sock can bring a smile to both the wearer and those around her. A pair of socks can signal solidarity, or a secret streak of subversiveness. They can be goofy and girly, or odd and eccentric. Socks can express our true personalities – our essential humanity.
And when we’re sitting around at home, perhaps getting just a wee bit stir-crazy, a happy pair of socks might be the key to a jollier day.
So don’t judge, dear reader. Instead, have a look at all the cheerful socks for wearing during this work-and-play from home era that made us smile. Maybe one of these will prove to be the best socks for your happy cozy chill time, now and in the better days to come.
