Socks are an inexpensive accessory that adds a lot of drama to an outfit.

A pair of socks can make an every-day outfit seem extraordinary, and can pull together an assortment of pieces into an ensemble. From stripes to argyle, from fun to seductive, here are some socks that rock!

10. “Crazy Cat Lady” Socks

These socks, which sport sassy cats wearing smart looking glasses, are the cat’s meow! Proudly declare yourself to be a “Crazy Cat Lady” as you don these feline-themed socks for the next neighborhood potluck.

9. “The Boy Who Lived” Socks

Harry Potter fans will appreciate these lightning bolt socks—reminiscent of a certain scar inflicted on The Boy Who Lived by He Who Shall Not Be Named. The next time you feel like you may never be cheerful again, grab some chocolate and these Chosen One socks to help chase away the Dementors!

8. Socks that Roar

Help your little one tap into his inner animal with these precious jungle feet socks. He will roar with delight at being able to wrap his paws in cozy comfort with socks that show off his wild side.

7. Prep School Cool

Start you little tyke on the path to the Ivy League with a pair of precious prep school inspired socks. Paired with tiny khaki shorts, an oxford cloth button up, and wee corduroy blazer, your little one will be on his way to Wall Street before you know it!

6. Fancy Feet

When your little diva dons these fancy socks, she will be the envy of Pre-K. These stylish socks will take her from breakfast at Grandma’s to play-date without changing socks—diapers, perhaps, but not socks.

5. Shazam! Socks

Every woman needs a pair of socks that boosts her mood, lifts her spirit, and gives her confidence—a pair of socks that, as soon as she slips into them, makes her want to scream, “Shazam! This day is going to ROCK!” This may well be that pair of socks. And, since socks that make you want to scream Shazam! don’t come around every day, you may want to stock up on them while you can.

4. Super Secret Socks

Some socks do more than just keep your toes warm. Some socks have a secret. Some socks provide you with toasty toes and a sense of security. These “super secret socks” are just such a pair—they are the super hero of socks.

3. Goth Socks

These knee-high Goth Socks pair perfectly with black skirts and well-worn combat boots. The argyle design, accented with skulls, shows off a certain dance-club chic. (They are also perfect for the non-Goth types who simply love a comfortable sock, and for whom the skulls are just a bonus.)

2. Understated Elegance

For those that prefer a more understated elegance, such as the buttoned-up, hair-in-a-chignon librarian-types, we offer these charcoal grey, thigh high socks. They are alluring without being cheap, seductive without being trashy, and they perfectly accent every curve of the leg while still leaving a little something to the imagination.

1. TARDIS Socks

Everyone needs some socks that with some get up and go. Some socks that say, “Yes! I would run off with a madman in a blue box!” This is the latest in foot apparel for those who live life on the run. (Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of running.) TARDIS socks are super stylish and really roomy—some might even say they seem bigger on the inside!

So donate all those plain white socks and stock up on some patterned, plaid, and print socks that will rock your wardrobe!
