The style index: cosy socks

Cosy socks, the ultimate luxury accessory

The cosy sock trend ticks both boxes when it comes to being fashionably functional. Choose from chunky knits in plush materials, like merino or alpaca in bold colours or an argyle print. Whether you are opting for a slouchy knee-high or calf snuggling length, these socks are the perfect sofa accessory.
