Fruit Motif Cotton Ankle Socks

Small pleasures, worn quietly. A pair of thin cotton socks patterned with cartoon fruit, from strawberries and peaches to watermelon, melon, avocado and a yellow blossom, each motif jacquard-woven so the design sits in the knit rather than on top of it.

The cotton is light and breathable, with a shaping fit that holds gently at the ankle and stays smooth inside a shoe. Colour reads soft, closer to a watercolour wash than a bold print, so a small flash of fruit shows at the ankle without shouting.

Wear them with canvas trainers and cropped trousers, with sandals and a midi skirt, or indoors on warm floors through summer. The socks come in one size, cut close to the foot and sized smaller than European and American measurements: if you fall between sizes, take the larger.
