Some socks are made to be hidden and others to be shown. The Sentimental belongs firmly to the second family. It's a women's ankle sock in ribbed cotton, scattered with little hearts and finished with a frill at the ankle: just right for peeking out of a ballet flat without ever weighing down the leg.
It borrows the schoolgirl sock's frill and the Valentine's card's hearts, without becoming either. It's all about proportion: discreet hearts, a light frill, a simple knit.
How to wear frilly ankle socks
With low shoes first and foremost, since everything happens above the ankle: ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers or canvas trainers. A pleated skirt or a short dress embraces the retro wink; straight jeans cut at the ankle make it more unexpected. In an ankle boot, however, the frill disappears, and with it the whole reason for choosing this pair. That's the rule for all our frilly socks: the frill needs to be seen.
White, ivory or colour?
White, scattered with black hearts, remains the most classic version of the frilly sock, the one that brightens a black loafer. If you'd like a little bow as well, have a look at our socks with a bow and frill. Ivory, with coral hearts, offers a softer, almost vintage variation. On black, sage green and pink, the hearts turn white and stand out more clearly, bringing The Sentimental closer to our heart socks. All five colours also come together in a bundle, so you can change every day of the week.

FAQ
Which size should I choose?
The Sentimental is one size, UK 3 to 7. Above that, it may feel tight, and our other frilly styles also stop at UK 6.5 or 7.
Ankle sock or trainer sock: what's the difference?
Very little. An ankle sock is a low sock that stops at the ankle; The Sentimental's frill sits just above the shoe.
Can I wear it in winter?
Yes, over thin tights, with loafers or Mary Janes. The frill stays visible and your legs stay warm.
