~ Sock Dreams ~

February means more cold weather, but it also means Valentine’s day! We’ve got styles perfect for you and yours, from cozy to cute. Whether you’re shopping for your sweetheart, yourself or beloved friends and family, a great place to start is our Valentine’s Sweetie collection. There’s a lot of pink and red, but if that’s not your thing don’t worry, nearly all the styles come in less sugary colours too.

Spring may be around the corner, but it’s still cold enough to warrant short snuggly socks (perfect for keeping your toes toasty while cuddling up). Our Slippers collection is a great place to start, but these three styles are some of our Valentine’s favourites.

• Bunny Angora Shorties •
• New Zealand Bedsocks with Hearts •
• Alpino Merino Mousse Crew •

If you’re looking for short socks that are a little less cozy and a little more foxy, our Anklet and Footie collections have plenty, but I think these three are the most frilly and fun.

• Lace Anklet with Ruffle •
• Silk Ballerina Toes •
• Lace Ruffle Anklets with Bow •

Some luxe options, non-traditional ideas and accessories after the jump!

If you want to pamper your valentine, you can’t go wrong with soft cashmere or cute prints.

• B.Ella Ginger Ribbed Knee High •
• Jane Over the Knee •
• Betsey Johnson Cozy Hearts Cashmere Tights •

One of the nicest things to get somebody is something they’d love but wouldn’t think to get for themselves. Here are some fun twists on basics that might be just right:

• Ruffle Stripe OTK •
• Angora Faux Zipper Knee High •
• Vertically Checkered OTK •

Sock garters are not only a foxy addition to socks, they’re a great little something for your favourite someone.

• Romantic Budded Sock Garters •
• Spiked Sock Garters •
• Snappy Heart Sock Garters •

If you or your sweeties prefer the classic men’s dress sock look, there are tonnes of classic options (like the 85% cashmere Panteras) in our Men’s Sock collection, and don’t forget the Suspender Clip Sock Garters!

• B.Ella Pantera Jersey Dress Socks •
• Angelo Reverse Stripe Socks •
• Metro Argyle Midcalf •

Is there a particular pair of socks you’re eyeing for yourself or your valentine (which aren’t mutually exclusive, my Valentine’s Day present to myself just may be the Cronert Diamond Line OTKs)?
