No-Show Menswear Socks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

William & Sterling's Socks for Men Stay Out of Sight and Reduce Odors

— April 12, 2017 — Fashion
Although there are many socks for men on the market that boast vibrant colors and graphic patterns to add a sense of style to one's outfits, no-show socks are just as desirable when wearing certain types of footwear. However, one of the problems with these kinds of socks is that they sit so low on the foot, they tend to slip off, sometimes even from inside one's shoe.

William & Sterling is a fashion brand that recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to introduce the world to its inventive no-show sock solution. These socks boast a strategically placed eco-friendly silicone strip on the inside of the heel, as well as antimicrobial properties to reduce odors.

These stylish no-show socks for men are being offered in 12 different designs, and early supporters of the campaign have the chance to receive them first.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Fashion - Developing eco-friendly and sustainable fashion products, such as socks with silicone strips and antimicrobial properties, offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry.
2. No-show Socks - Designing innovative solutions to address the common problem of slipping no-show socks provides disruptive innovation opportunities in the footwear industry.
3. Personalized Sock Design - Creating customizable and unique designs for no-show socks opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion accessories industry.
