These imaginative monster socks from 'Toy Machine' are designed to appeal to both adults and children.
Popular menswear fads have included styling brightly colored socks with a classic black suit, adding a pop of color that allows men to be formal and masculine, without compromising their true, fun-loving side. These creature socks take that fad to the next level, through featuring a menacing pair of yellow glowing eyes and a snarling mouth peering out from the bottom of one's pant leg. These hilarious and comfortable socks come in both white and red, appealing to a more easygoing demographic seeking methods of expression that are both bold and subtle.
The high-quality material that comprises these wearables are enough to keep feet both warm and dry, serving as an elaborate alternative to the classic white tube sock.
