I cannot even believe we’re at the halfway point of the year. Time passes quickly when your socks are fun! June’s flower and birthstone are a great team—roses and pearls! The constellation for most of the month is Gemini, a perfect pairing for socks!
June’s actually got three birthstones associated with it, Alexandrite, Moonstone and Pearls. Both Alexandrite and Moonstone possess shifting colours that are impossible to capture in sock form, so I’ve made little gradients for you.
Alexandrite shifts from reddish to greenish.
From left to right: Heather Sockling, Ribbed Knit Leg Warmers, Harlequin Trouser Socks, Melange Crew, Diamond Rib Knee Highs.
Moonstones are pearlescent, glowing rainbows of green and blue, with purple and yellow on the edges. I actually super can’t convey the deepness of their colours and beauty, not even in socks.
From left to right: O Basics, Bastia Comfort Top Crew, Erin Wool & Silk Socks, Harajuku Leg Warmers, Vertically Inclined Stockings.
Pearls are a little easier, with their beautiful, soft shades of white. Our O Lovelies in Pearl are a gimme as far as that gemstone is concerned! For the rest of your strand of socks, we’ve got lots of solid white with subtle shimmer and satin texture to dress up your look.
Clockwise from top: Micromesh Lace Ruffle Tanga Short, Opaque Stockings with Ruffle and Bow, Microfiber Chenille Arm Warmers, Simply Adjustable Sock Garters, Furry Lurex Leg Warmers, Alpaca Beehive Knit Long Arm Warmers.
But have you seen black pearls? They’re probably my favourite and they’ve got hints of blue and purple in them.
Clockwise from top: Silk & Cotton Crews, Wrinkle Press Knee High, Fuzzy Toe Socks, Cotton Lace Anklets, Maniche Silk Tweed Boot Sock, Lace Ruffle Anklets with Bow.
The lovely companion flower to pearls is the rose and we’ve got socks with that distinctive bloom emblazoned,
• Rose Border Over the Knees •
• Stitched Rose Knee Highs •
• Black Roses Printed Footless Tights •
And there are shades of red and pink called “rose” that range the spectrum.
Now Gemini, the twins, is almost too easy to symbolise with socks. So let’s pair these pairs with two packs. Each of these styles come in sets of two, for you to mix and match or have a spare.
Top row: Bamboo Crew 2 Pack, Striped No Show 2 Packs
Bottom row: SITM Toddler & Kids Two Packs, Larger Footed Striped No Show 2-Packs
Pretty pearls, romantic roses and double your money with Gemini. We’re halfway through the year with Summer Solstice to prove it on the 21st!

When most people think of Oregon, they think of rain; and with good reason. Portland alone gets an average of around 37 inches of rain a year, and often times it feels like we should start gathering animals two by two. There advantage to all the rain is when the sun comes out, Oregon turns into a green paradise. So, the latest news is… SUNSHINE!!!
One of our favorite parts of the warm weather is new shorties, like these sweet Sweet Marcel anklets from last summer!!!
We here at Sock Dreams are suckers for a little shorty sock and luckily Tabbisocks has already starting sending us the most adorable socks ever.
Stay tuned for new styles coming just in time for Spring and Summer.

Fourth of July is just around the bend! Last year we shared some American made socks as a way to display your patriotic pride. We’ve got two styles that are perfect for a day of picnics and fireworks, one on each end of the fancy spectrum.
If you’re feeling chic then the Star Stirrup Tights are just the thing for you. Stretchy fishnet, with bold stars scattered across your legs. Pair a blue skirt or red and white striped knee socks for a subtle shout-out to the flag. And the open toes and heels are perfect for summer sandals!
On the other end of the spectrum are the beautifully basic Beer Knee Highs. Super comfy, with cushiony feet and lots of stretch, they are now available in red, white and blue as an accompaniment to barbeques and cookouts on the Fourth.
Y’know, come to think of it, these two styles, different as they are, would look great together! Of course, we also have styles that reflect the American flag, classic interpretations to add a festive touch to your getup on the fourth.
• America Printed Trouser Socks •
• American Flag Midcalves •
• Old Glory Printed Trouser Socks •
If you haven’t picked up any patriotic socks yet, be sure to get your order in ASAP and choose Priority shipping for $5 (free for orders over $50!). And make doubly sure to check out our Shipping FAQ for more info, so you can get them in time.
