[April] Socks that our staff recommends now
The cold of winter is gradually easing up, and the warmth of spring is peeking in. HOiSUM presents comfortable socks that can handle these subtle temperature changes. Keep your feet warm and colorful in April with these "memorable socks" made from traditional techniques and carefully selected materials.
1. British wool ribbed socks
These high-quality socks are made from a blend of British wool. The wool of sheep raised in the UK is collected from a variety of breeds that are said to be the most diverse in the world. Growing up in harsh environments such as the cold air from the Arctic Circle and mountainous regions where rain and wind blow, these socks are characterized by their unique firmness, stiffness, and bulkiness (the fullness of the fibers).
The ribbed knit provides a comfortable fit and warmth, even on chilly days. The breathable fabric, made from natural materials, keeps your feet warm without making them stuffy.
Styling point : The vibrant green color, as seen in the photo, can be paired with denim and loafers to add a fresh accent to a classic style. It also works well as a contrasting color for a monotone outfit, giving your feet a spring-like feel. It goes particularly well with shiny leather shoes, taking a casual denim style up a notch.
Material : 94% WOOL, 5% POLYESTER, 1% POLYURETHANE

2. Kasuri socks
This pair of shoes symbolizes the theme of this season, "Japonisme." In the late 1800s, Japanese culture shocked the world during the "Japonisme" era. This had a major influence on Louis Vuitton's Damier pattern and on famous painters such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, and Monet.
These socks are an original HOiSUM design that applies the traditional Japanese technique of "Kasuri" to knitting. The unique pattern, which is created by first dyeing the yarn and then weaving it, is characterized by its blurred edges, which is where the name "Kasuri" comes from. This technique, which is said to have been introduced to Japan from China in the 8th century, has been incorporated into modern socks, making these socks a great way to feel history and culture.
Styling Tip : The purple gradation ikat pattern goes perfectly with beige or khaki wide pants. Pair it with navy shoes to create a beautiful color gradation.
We also recommend rolling up these loose-fitting pants to show off a little. They are perfect as an accent color for a casual mix style with a Japanese touch. They are especially perfect for light-hearted coordination in early spring.
Kasuri socks, a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese beauty, add a nice accent to Japanese clothing as well as casual styles such as denim and chinos.
Material : 90% COTTON, 5% NYLON, 4% POLYESTER, 1% POLYURETHANE

3. Warm pile
These socks are made from a high-quality blend of New Zealand fine wool and Australian merino wool. The side that comes next to your skin is knitted with fibers that are water-repellent and have excellent heat retention. The fibers have a strong crimp, making these socks warm and fluffy, with a hybrid feel of wool and high-tech synthetic fibers.
Styling point : The monotone two-tone design creates an urban and fashionable impression when combined with a leather jacket and leather boots. The black and white color scheme goes well with any style and pairs perfectly with distinctive boots.
Even if you want to continue wearing winter items such as leather coats and boa jackets until April, you can bring the lightness of spring into your feet. It is also effective for mixing and matching with patterned skirts and pants, and creates a simple yet sophisticated look for your feet.
Even as the days get warmer, these socks are designed to keep you warm during the chilly mornings and evenings. The best mix of natural and functional materials ensures a comfortable fit.

4. British wool cable socks
Traditional cable knit socks made from British wool blend yarn. Like British wool ribbed socks, they take advantage of the unique firmness, stiffness, and bulkiness that comes from the wool of sheep raised in harsh natural environments.
The three-dimensional cable knit design fits your feet without feeling cramped, and has excellent heat retention. The sophisticated design looks great both outdoors and in the city, and can be easily matched with a variety of styles, making it suitable for a wide range of outfits.
Styling tip : Black cable socks can be paired with brown wide pants for a sophisticated, casual look. Especially when paired with colorful sandals, they bring out a spring-like sense of fun from the feet up.
The socks and sandals combination is recommended as a spring-first look for chilly days. A simple top and pants outfit can be instantly transformed into a fashionable look with these black cable socks and unique sandals.

5. Checkered socks
Another masterpiece on the Japonisme theme. The checkered pattern has the meaning of "prosperity" because it continues without interruption. It has long been popular in Japan as an auspicious pattern that brings prosperity in the future, such as the prosperity of descendants and business expansion.
These socks feature a traditional checkered pattern with a design inspired by the sleeves of a Sukajan jacket. A modern interpretation of the checkered pattern, these socks have a unique appeal.
Styling point : The blue and beige checkered pattern in the photo blends in with the warmth of tatami mats and wood in a Japanese space, while still giving off a fresh impression. Pair it with white or pale-toned Japanese clothing or a white shirt for a refreshing spring look.
We also recommend styling them so that they are slightly visible under rolled up pants. Just by incorporating them into your everyday casual style, you will give off the impression that you love fashion.
It will breathe new life into your April outfits as an accent to bright outfits that make you feel the arrival of spring.
Material : 51% ACRYLIC, 28% NYLON, 14% WOOL, 5% POLYESTER, 2% POLYURETHANE

6. High-class high-class
As the name suggests, knee-high socks give off a "high society" vibe. In 19th century Europe, men's legs were a symbol of beauty and a sign of power. At the time, men wore knee-high socks to compete over who had the most beautiful legs, a history that is hard to imagine in modern times.
Styling point : The vibrant pink and navy bicolor design makes a great accent for monotone outfits. The vibrant colors peeking out from the black wide pants or skirt create an exquisite balance that anticipates spring outfits.
Long knee-high socks in particular can protect your feet from the cold while also adding a touch of fashion. Another appealing point is that you can enjoy their beauty even when you take your shoes off indoors.
The cream yellow version can be paired with white or light grey pants for a lighter spring look. It also pairs well with thick sneakers, giving off a casual yet sophisticated impression.
With a high wool content of 82%, these shoes provide both warmth and a luxurious feel. The longer length not only makes your feet look neat, but also protects them from the cold. This is a reliable item that will keep your feet warm even in changeable weather.
