When I was single, one of the first things I looked at when I went on a date would be the bottom of a guy’s trousers, his socks and his shoes. You can tell A LOT about someone based on these three things. And before you call me a superficial arse, answer me this – if Cape Town’s answer to Ryan Gosling/Kate Upton started chatting you up and you looked down to see they were wearing white socks with crocs, you’d think twice. You know you would (unless you were really drunk).

Indeed, socks have historically been the underdog of style, relegated to navy blue, black, the treacherous white sports number or, gasp, the novelty sock. Thankfully, the tides are turning and brands are starting to add a much-needed cool factor. Hallelujah!

One such is Sexy Socks, which we love because they’re Cape Town born and raised, have some seriously cool designs, are made from soft soft bamboo (say what?) and for every pair sold, they give a pair to a disadvantaged school kid.

So if you fancy sprucing up your sock drawer, you can get 10% off all Sexy Socks until this Sunday. Just enter the promo code ‘sexy2ov‘ at check-out.

If you are looking to make a slightly bigger order, we can always sort you out with a bigger discount, just drop a mail to henk@2oceansvibemedia.com and he’ll put you in touch with the right peeps.

Word.
