The comeback of the white sock: new era in fashion
fresh wind in the fashion world: the comeback of the white socks
A new fashion trend conquers the streets of Berlin and Frankfurt: The once frowned upon white sock celebrates its big comeback! For a long time it was considered a stylish error, especially in combination with sandals, and was laughed at as a trademark of German tourists abroad. But the fashion industry is constantly on the move, and so sporty socks that are proud or defiantly experience are now a revival and are no longer considered no more no more. They are particularly popular with short pants and even raised to present the brand logos (Nike, Adidas, Puma and Co) clearly.
a trend that captures generation z
representatives of the so -called generation z, which include young people aged around 15 to 30 years, such as pop star Billie Eilish and actor Paul Mescal, now wearing classic socks with a matter of course. Fashion experts predict that short sneakers socks (which are typical of the millennials, i.e. the age group of around 30 to 45 years) and especially feet will be a relic of days gone by 2024 at the latest.
a statement for individuality and style awareness
The return of the striking socks symbolizes an object to past trends in which ankles were shown, carried feet or even barefoot hatched. Fashion editor Sebastian Schwarz explains that socks of all kind are now serving as a fashionable statement and combined into different shoe models. Whether with sneakers, loafing or even trekking sandals-white socks are versatile and give every outfit that certain something.
The meaning of white in the fashion world
The historian Julia Burde points out that white socks historically stood in the 19th century in the Anglo -American region as a symbol of cooking washes and body hygiene. In the 1940s they became part of the teenage and college fashion in the USA and symbolized the youthful freshness and carefree of the wearers. The white tennis sock as a mass item is still a functional piece of clothing and combines sportiness with casual look.
With the comeback of the white socks, carriers set an example of individuality and style awareness. It is time to rethink outdated fashion ideas and to express your own style. The white sock is back - and it has come to stay!
