[SANS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sans-filtered-showerhead)’ Hole Sock Collection comes with the holes already build in. The ‘peep show’ socks are similar to the previously discovered ‘Stiletto Socks’ by Emilio Cavallini Hosiery.

Whether worn with sneakers or high heels these cute socks would show off the wearer’s quirky personality; not to mention causing some odd tan lines if you’re out in the sun too long.

SANS ‘Holey Socks’ are available in either a knee high or crew sock version. Both are made from recycled fine organic pima cotton with lycra and nylon for stretch and resiliency. The knee highs are $30 and the crew socks are $28.
