Statement Socks: Put Your Best Foot Forward

Since their inception in Ancient Egypt, socks have spent the best part of two millennia on a turbulent journey to ultimately land at the bottom of, and likely lose their other half in, your washing machine. An often overlooked but no less integral part of any outfit, socks are perhaps the easiest way to elevate an otherwise underwhelming look. Joe Cool’s Statement Socks offer an excellent opportunity for you to express your personality in a way that can be simultaneously understated and flashy, after-all, socks pack a surprisingly big punch, when considered on their own stylistic merit.

Its all about texture with our flora and fauna sock lines. Our sheer collection is adorned in tropical embroidery that is eclectic yet impossibly chic. Embossed floral finishes distinguish themselves from the traditional ribbed and knitted textures, introducing a new textural element to jazz up your footwear. Darling depictions of an enchanting forest & a woodland scene can be found on several of Joe Cool’s statement socks, naturally exuding an idyllic essence.

Arty ankles will adore our flowery Frida or perfectly pastiche pair of Warhol inspired socks. Make the ultimate statement in our hot lips print, sure to keep your name in everyone’s mouth! For dog lovers: A dapper dachshund duo in tiffany blue or a plucky chocolate pair patterned in pug. Geometric prints offer a strikingly sophisticated take on statement sock dressing whilst graphic cow print and fabulous flocks of sheep will result in head-turning hooves. Foodie favourites include our classic wasabi green pair decorated in a sushi motif, the gorgeously gaudy banana print and our fried egg pair, ideal for the eggcentrics of the world.

Statement socks are an easy and inexpensive indulgence that can instantly add character to your wardrobe. As with everything Joe Cool – these socks were made to be seen and our ostentatious offerings leave no excuse for a sub-par sock game. So, what are you waiting for? Pick yours up before they’re all gone!

Hip hearts and hot lips for a cool Valentine

Hearts are hip at Joe shop and, with Valentines day fast approaching, now is the time to really enjoy this emblematic symbol of love. There’s no need to merely settle for the classic red heart of years gone by. Why not have fun with gorgeous striped textile heart earring, bright ‘petit polka dot’ hearts, filigree metal and gleaming enamel?

Hearts come as tiny shiny stud earrings in red,black,pink and white or as ‘miss-matched’, ‘best friend’ studs – a perfect pairing. For a super cool look try line art heart earrings and heart hands, both in matt silver or gold finish. ‘Outline’ styles are both arty and elegant with rings and earrings in minimalist metal.

A more subtle approach still, is the ‘heartbeat’ trio of ring, bracelet and choker, an image of particular poignancy in these difficult days of loss and love. ‘Love letters’, in a similar genre, is a crazy hoop earring with the ‘L’ word cleverly work into what appears at first to be an abstract looping design. Again, all come in a choice of shiny silver or gold finish metal.

Socks feature glorious rainbow hearts in a black or grey option. Classic red on black are firm favourites at any time of the year and pastel hearts are a new addition.

Arty hearty has to be the fabulous ‘Keith Haring’ inspired ‘untitled (heart) sock and ‘pop art crowd’. An iconic artist giving this iconic symbol yet another twist! Check out the other art themed socks in the range for all your favourite artists. From Warhol, Van Gogh, Monet and Klimt to Vermeer, Botticelli and Leonardo; we have a veritable gallery in store!

Of course, Hearts are not the only symbol of love. What could be more romantic than the gift of red roses. This year choose something longer lasting to celebrate the day with a choice of sheer red rose socks, satin earrings and a great selection of jewellery in materials ranging from satin to resin. So, take heart…we have you covered!
