The history of socks, often overlooked in the fashion world, spans back to the Stone Age when animal skins were tied around ankles for protection. Their evolution continued with the Egyptians, who crafted socks from woven wool and cotton, even accommodating sandals with a separate compartment for the big toe. The term "sock" originates from the Latin "soccus," used by the Romans to describe a form of loose slipper. During the Middle Ages, socks, or "hose," became status symbols for the European nobility. The invention of the knitting machine in the 16th century, followed by the Industrial Revolution, democratized sock access. The 20th century introduced synthetic materials, such as nylon and polyester, offering greater durability and elasticity. Today, sock diversity is vast, spanning athletic socks to "smart" socks with built-in health sensors, highlighting the adaptability and evolution of this fundamental garment throughout history.
