Muji Socks
I recently bought socks at muji that are so amazing they deserve their own post. They’re made from recycled fabric and come in sets of 5 really interesting colors – each set was slightly different in color in the store! So naturally it took me 20 minutes to decide which one I wanted. When I looked on their website later I realized they came in different sizes, and by some miracle I’d purchased my correct size.
The colors are so amazing I had to wear a pair of ankle pants today and my (crappy but cute) h&m jazz shoes to show them off. I ended up switching to the teal pair last minute. I like the punch of color they add to my super gray outfit (grey nails, grey shirt, grey shoes.) Thank you to my friend Emily for tipping me off about these guys!
If you want to order them online you can, but they’ll send you random colors (some are not as nice as others) and the sizing isn’t listed the same as it was on the pair I bought in the store. In the store it was listed by what size shoe you wear, online it’s just small, medium, and large. So I can’t advise you on sizing unfortunately! Use your best guess, I suppose.

Muji is my very favorite place to buy socks. I like the striped pairs, too.

These are my favorite socks. I can’t wear any other ones now. I have about 20 pairs! I was just thinking about posting about them too. Great minds…

20 pairs, swoon! I’d be one happy person to open up my sock drawer to that…

I am a big huge fan of Muji socks too! I own a few too many pairs myself, I buy a bunch of them whenever the store has a year-end sale. Especially the striped pairs, like evencleveland commented :]

Did you see the recycled cotton T-shirts they sell? I noticed they now have a V-neck version and am wondering if I can style it so I can make it work on me.

Awesome! Just when I was thinking I only owned very boring (black, grey) socks and was wondering where I could find something a bit different! Plus they’re recycled. Thanks for the tip.

I don’t think I was aware of Muji selling socks! I’ve been there a few times and love their aesthetic. Since I’m constantly losing socks and wearing holes into them at record speeds (seriously…WHAT am I doing to all of my socks?), and was recently made fun of for wearing white socks(what’s wrong with that?!),I’ll have to check into these!

I JUST bought some of these at the MoMA gift shop — they really are rad. And pretty cheap, too, considering!

Oh, I wish we had a Muji in Vancouver! I bought some of these socks when I lived in London and loved them to death. Perhaps I need to order myself some more!
