striped socks

Linear patterned footwear

Striped socks are socks with bands of alternating colors running horizontally around the leg and foot.

The pattern ranges from subtle to bold—thin pinstripes to wide rugby stripes.

Striped socks often signal playfulness or personality in otherwise formal attire: He wore striped socks with his suit to show he wasn't entirely serious.
