Argyle socks have risen in popularity over the past few years, with a growing demand for bold colours and exciting yet nostalgic patterns. Perfect for injecting a burst of fun into any outfit; whether discretely hiding under trousers or being flaunted with killer heels and dresses, the Argyle sock is synonymous with fashion and patriotism.
With this in mind, we have now introduced Burlington socks to our range of stocked brands! Having fairly recently become the newest member of the Falke family, their choice of products and colours is ever expanding and its becoming more and more popular. Having shaken off its fuddy-duddy, old fashioned reputation, Argyle is now considered a fantastic way to stand out from the crowd and wear a mixture of colours that would not normally blend well together. Worn with heels, they can transform an entire outfit and give your look an extra dimension, with the best shades being contrasting colours to make a real impact. Men should wear with smart shoes to bring a regular suit and tie job into the 21st century and add a splash of personality to a bland, traditionally masculine ensemble.
Argyle itself can be traced back to the 17th Century, with Scottish Highlanders wearing the pattern to show they were part of Glen Campbell, Argyll. In more modern times, the Duke of Windsor favoured the pattern for his golfing outfits. Various companies took to sponsoring the Duke, starting the tradition of golfers sporting the classic motif in the most outrageous of colour combinations. It is definitely one of the most iconic and recognisable tartans, with the most exciting potential within the fashion world.
