Sometimes a ribbon is all it takes. The Mischievous is a plain women's sock in ribbed cotton, with a navy-edged frill at the ankle and, at the back, a little bow in the same colour. From the front you only see the frill; the bow reveals itself with your first step.
It's a tiny detail, yet it changes everything. The plain sock becomes an accessory, with just enough schoolgirl spirit to raise a smile without ever looking like a costume.
How to wear socks with a bow
As the bow sits at the back, it needs a shoe that leaves the heel visible: low-top trainers, loafers, ballet flats or Mary Janes. White trainers are a perfect match. Ankle-length jeans, a midi skirt or slightly cropped wide-leg trousers show off the frill and ribbon with every step.
Like all our frilly socks, it loses its point inside an ankle boot: the frill needs to be seen.
Burgundy, mustard or white: five plain colours
Burgundy and mustard lean autumnal and take on a retro feel with their navy trim. Heather grey and bisque, a sandy beige, slip into a neutral wardrobe. White remains the most classic; if you prefer it scattered with little hearts, try our ankle socks with hearts and frills. For a frill paired with flowers rather than a ribbon, see our floral frilly socks.
