Protect Your Fair Epidermis

None

That's right, SOCKS, motherfucker. That's what we're talking about right here. While "fun socks" are now a horrible trope and, at this point, a ghost of menswear past, that doesn't mean socks have to suck. Yes, the blue and yellow polka dots you've seen plastered all over your Tumblr dashboard are dead and should remain deceased forever. If someone hasn't made that statement yet, I'm happy to firmly declare that shit now. Like, they should remain all the way the fuck outta here even if there's a drastic sock shortage in the near future. I'm still down with subtly cool socks though. Admittedly, just about ever sock in my drawer right now is from Uniqlo, but I'm recommending these Henrik Vibskov lined socks to slip your feet into real nice and smooth. Yeah, that's the spot. Before you jump down my throat, let me ask you a simple question: What socks do you wear with your high top sneakers?

I'm genuinely curious. Personally, no-shows are, well, a no-go and even ankle socks are too short. Personally, I need some solid crew socks to cover my tender ankles from getting too roughed up out there. And, as far as I'm concerned, that's what taller socks are made for. Wow, this is a weirdly sincere post. I'm sorry for breaking from the Four Pins voice. Anyway, these have a cool, somewhat subtle pattern that doesn't scream out "fuccboi!" and they'll cover your ankles with a nice cotton-poly-elastine blend (80/18/2 respective breakdown) for your fair epidermis. After all, that's what socks are for.
