I imagine it’s a tough old world out there in the fashion industry, everyone competing to create the next big thing before Gavin Rajah steals it and takes the credit.

It must also be kind of daunting, which is why when someone gives you the chance of starting small and designing your own sock you should jump at the opportunity.

We’re not pulling your leg – Sexy Socks are giving you the chance to create your own pattern and rake in the rewards. The lowdown as follows:

Yes, February does have 29 days this year and yes, you will make a cool 10% of everything sold. Ka-ching, crushing it.

Your design will be submitted using the Sexy Socks template, which as you can see below is pretty easy to follow.

Now you don’t need to be a whizz-kid in the fashion industry to pull this one off, we’re talking about a funky sock design. If yours comes out tops you get a pair of socks of your own making to wear around like a boss – if anyone tells you that ain’t gangster you refer them to us.

A reminder then, entries are open until 29 February. Make that extra day count you funky fashionista.
