Abundantly Floral Socks

For me, what defines an abundantly floral sock is naming the sock style after the particular flower on display and making it the centrepiece of the sock show. Ozone’s various flower sock lines are basically the acme of the abundantly floral style.

Between their marvelously magical Witches’ Garden collection,

To their earthier Apothecary Florals collection,

They’ve already claimed the corner on fabulous flower socks. But, then you throw in all their other styles, which aren’t quite as intensely floral (but are still very flowery), and Ozone is clearly the prizewinning rose here.

Nordic Stripe Crew

In close competition, however, is Sweet Marcel. Though the styles are named after people of note, not flowers, the patterns themselves are often inspired by florals and flowers from those people’s lives.

The bold colours and dense patterning make them pretty abundantly floral, in my opinion.

Generally, Flower Socks

These might be the most common flower pattern socks. They’re rarely so rich with flowers that one could confuse them with abundantly floral, but they don’t just put one bloom on there and call it good.

Our Dreamer Socks florals fall into this category, with both bold and subtle all-over patterns that sedately march from toes to tops.

Another good example of this more moderate floral is Stance. Thanks to their dedication to dense patterns and printing, their array of options ranges from sporty,

To styles that could almost be abundant, though they're far less common than the sportier options.

And, with their ever-changing line-up of options, there’s always going to be a Stance sock that offers fresh florals and their trademark fabulous fit!

Classic Floral Lace

Now, not all lace has a floral pattern, just most of it. That means many of our lace socks and stockings can also be categorised as florals! Think of the big rose patterns floating between sheer panels of net, or scallop-edged lace trim filled with flowers. They’re soft and femme, but often rendered in black, so they’re perfect for soft goth feels and sensuously bold statements.

Probably the brand with the most floral lace is Leg Avenue, who loves their lace cuffs! Some are stay ups, with silicone grips hiding behind that pretty lace, and some are just big bold bands of lace finishing off already stunning stockings.

Sheer Vertical Striped Stockings with Lace

Of course, they also have fully floral options, not just in stockings, but tights and accessories too! From their cornerstone black floral lace to some uniquely gorgeous patterns in net, Leg Avenue has floral lace on lock.

Of course, our flower socks encompass more than these three basic groups, there are about as many variants as there are common species of cultivated roses. So, take a walk through our garden of socks and see what gets you buzzing like a bee!

Because, even if you don’t have a green thumb, it’s the middle of winter and nobody has ever given you flowers, flower socks are a bouquet you give yourself every time you wear them. ♥
