Houndstooth knee-high socks

Houndstooth socks

Meet all our knee-high socks with a houndstooth pattern made of cotton lisle and wool.

Houndstooth socks will add an elegant and visible touch of creativity to your outfits thanks to the combinations of colours available.

# Where does this pattern come from?

This pattern was created by Scottish shepherds in the 19th century who knitted clothing to protect themselves from the cold, applying this famous black and white pattern, colors chosen for their neutrality. It became famous and a symbol of elegance from the 1930s thanks to the suits of the Prince of Wales and then iconic Dior suits.

# How to wear it?

The color contrasts allowed by the pattern make houndstooth socks an elegant fancy detail. If you want them to stand out, pair them with solid outfits and match the colors to your shoes to highlight the contrasts. For a more discreet look, you can always match the pattern’s colors to your pants and create the long-leg effect!

# And the name?

Confusion arose when translating the English houndstooth into French. Some see logic in the resemblance between a real chicken foot and this pattern. Judge for yourself!
