Six of the Best: Striped Socks, Made in Britain

While we're waiting for all the new season clothes to arrive in-store, now is a good time to upgrade the basics in your wardrobe. I'm going to have a look at underwear in a couple of weeks (!) but for now, here are Six of the Best striped socks. The bright striped sock is now firmly established as a new menswear classic and they are available everywhere from Paul Smith to Marks and Spencer. If you want to wear the best, though, you should buy any of these pairs that are made in Britain. Support smaller manufacturers, nurture traditonal industries and brighten your ankles so the world can see. It's new fashion, the old fashioned way, and it's the future.
