Today’s post is a bit of fun and function. I have always loved socks, beautiful designs and colours, not too short so your ankles get cold and fabric that stays soft and thick after plenty of wear and washing. I spend a lot of time outdoors gardening or playing with my daughter, and our house isn’t always that warm, with the heating topping out at 18 degrees unless we put the wood burner on, but I really hate cold feet. So, here are my ‘Top of the Socks’ to show your feet a bit of love.
Top of the Socks: My Favourite Brands
Thought Clothing
I really love the ethos behind Thought’s Clothing, although I find some of their silhouettes a little too relaxed for my style. I absolutely adore their socks though, both the variety of designs, the leg length and the durability.
I bought a gorgeous pack of four in lovely rich colours. My daughter loves them too as the feature carrots, tomatoes, gardening tools and flowers – I do like to have fun with my footwear! They’re no longer available but here are my pick from their current offering. They also do gift boxes and ‘socks in a bag’, which make great gifts or stocking fillers for the festive season!
These woodland themed socks are perfect for the nature lover: Yaella Woodlands Organic Cotton 4 Pack Sock Box – Multi (wearethought.com)
For someone with a birthday coming up, these Pisces Zodiac socks would make a great gift (other star signs are also available): Pisces Zodiac Socks
This lovely floral set would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, or just to update your sock drawer: Flavia Floral Bamboo 4 Pack Sock Box – Multi (wearethought.com)
The Yorkshire Sock Company
I’ve bought my husband socks from here before, and the colours are so vibrant and the quality excellent. Made with a high percentage of merino wool, they are a luxury option that will last and last.

Happy Socks are the perfect brand for really expressing yourself through your footwear while keeping warm and comfy. The bold designs can make you feel perked up on even the dreariest of days or wettest of walks.
