Am I getting old. These socks?

Does anyone own any of these socks? £20 for what looks like sweaty stained pair of socks? The others like your ribena had leaked in your PE bag.

Am I just behind with fashion? Is it an April fool?

Eurgh they look vile! Definitely would not buy 😂

Looks like tie dye effect. Not my cup of tea but its just a design.

Violashifts · 13/04/2025 20:18

They make me feel a bit sick. I am just getting old.

Tie die, 90s throwback... V fashionable on a certain type of person but could look awful equally 😉

Annoyeddd · 13/04/2025 20:22

Is that £20 for one pair?

WxyzWxyz · 13/04/2025 20:33

Oh my goodness they are awful!
They look as though they were in the washing machine with something that bled colour.
They are really, really taking people for fools if they expect anyone to pay anything for them , let alone £20.

The picture with the close up of the top of the socks makes it look like they’re bloodstained to me.

I spend half my life trying to get multiple teens minging white Nike socks back to actual white though so I can see why pre stained socks would be a time saver.

MoominMai · 13/04/2025 20:46

They look….traumatised

PickAChew · 13/04/2025 20:49

They're 1/3 polyester, too. Super special polyester technology, apparently 🙄

SorrowsPrayers · 13/04/2025 20:57

DS had some....I thought they were old and threw them out!

Olika · 13/04/2025 20:59

Those socks actually make me feel sick. They are awful!

Ewww 🤢🤢🤣

Look like something they find buried in CSI

ThinWomansBrain · 13/04/2025 23:45

they're only £12 now - there's a reason there's a 60% discount

i see lots of things for sae I don't like - couldn't get that worked up about it, no one is forcing you to buy them.

Barleysugar86 · 13/04/2025 23:50

Funnily enough OP I screenshotted some similarly awful ones recently- I guess it must be a 'thing'! https://www.very.co.uk/adidas-originals-womens-acid-washed-crew-socks-2-pairs-black/1601084353.prd

JustJoinedRightNow · 13/04/2025 23:54

They're just tie dyed socks. I like the pink looking ones. The white ones that look like they have smudges of grease are a bit weird but nothing to feel sick over, in my opinion.

ErrolTheDragon · 14/04/2025 00:29

They’re nothing like tie dye - that has pattern to it because it’s been tied. Maybe you’re too young to remember it in its dubious glory!
Those socks are just nasty blotchy things.

Well I know this. Just wanted to share the horror. It isn't often clothes make me feel sick.
