16 Cute Socks for a Cozy Quarantine Mood Boost
Remember hugs? Those were great. On a quest for alternative methods of fuzzy feelings while social distancing, I discovered cute socks, hot toddies, and weighted blankets are all solid supplements for a warm embrace. When Brother Vellies launched cozy cotton socks, appropriately dubbed Cloud Socks, I was immediately intrigued by the thick fabric and unique color offerings—and the proceeds' going toward the brand's mask-making initiative in Kenya was reason enough to add to cart.
As I unpacked my lavender socks from their brown paper wrapping, complete with a handwritten note from designer Aurora James, the plush fabric, made-with-care quality, and soothing purple brought a feeling of hope and comfort. I, a former advocate for barefoot living, had been converted into a sock enthusiast, and the Insta-famous hosiery was so much more than a shield from the crumbs scattered across my boyfriend's floor. In a time when everything feels uncertain and questioning how okay we really are is a daily occurrence, life's simple pleasures feel extra poignant. As we stock up on snug textiles for nesting rather than swimsuits for the first beach days of summer 2020, a cozy pair of socks can be an unexpected antidote to the quarantine blues.
Following my spiritual awakening, I went on a hunt for more options to fill out my WFH wardrobe. From Kule's uplifting phrases to Bombas's unmatched compression design, these are the cute socks I'm subbing for hugs and adding to my collection ASAP.
Fuzzy SocksDespite rising temperatures, super-soft socks you'd normally gift your family over the holidays possess the same magical comfort. Whether you're into heather gray or a pop of neon, the plush fabric will help offset your next social distancing spiral.
