Marvelous Mismatched Hosiery

The 'Solmate Socks' are for Subtle Rebels

'Solmate Socks' present mismatched hosiery to the refined and sophisticated individuals wanting to stand out.

Why would anyone want to wear mismatched socks? Because "Life is too short for matching them," according to the Vermont-based company. The mismatched pairs are, however, color and pattern-coordinated, so instead of seeing double looking at your feet, you see a continuum of coziness.

The Solmate Socks even have eloquent names like 'October Morning Socks,' 'Fall Foliage Socks,' 'Balsam' and 'Winterberry.' My feet already feel warmer just by looking at them.

The Solmate Socks line is entirely produced from recycled cotton t-shirts that the rural Vermont company grinds down, re-spins, dyes and knits for the pleasure of the subtle rebel.

If you are looking for a way to stand out, check out these cozy mismatched products.
