So summer’s here but it doesn’t mean you can forego socks and just stick to open footwear all season long. Luckily for us, new Adelaide-based label, Restless Socks has just launched and is looking to up our footwear game.

Forget everything you know about socks, these aren’t your average every day pair that you seem to keep losing every time you do the washing. Best friends, Kirra Thomas and Andrei Priplotski have created a range of socks that you’ll be proud of showing off. You can say goodbye to the days when you had to keep them hidden under your pants.

Having met both Kirra and Andrei, understanding the mentality behind the range was too easy: why shouldn’t people love the socks they wear and the feeling it gives them? There were no good quality socks in the local fashion scene and after a trip to the States (where colourful socks are huge), Kirra thought why not introduce it to the folk of Adelaide? Socks are important in that they complete an outfit and deserve to be a statement piece in their own right. That is exactly what their fresh and vibrant designs do.

The socks that are currently available are a part of their city-skyline range – think Sydney, Paris, African landscapes, Mexican deserts and the iconic American bridge. Each city comes in a different but also summer (and music festival) appropriate colour.

Their pre-sale sold out in the blink of an eye so if you’re interested or if you’re already a fan of a loud sock – head on down to Created Range in Regent Arcade to check them out. You won’t be disappointed. To view the range head to restlesssocks.com.au.
