Back to School…the Sock Edition
If you haven’t seen it, the Babble Back to School Guide is a compilation of the best of the best clothing, supplies, backpacks and lunchboxes compiled by myself and two fab Family Style Bloggers, Michele and Jordan . Still, I couldn’t help but think that one thing was missing…
Socks!
Often overlooked but so important to our kids, a good pair of socks can make or break or an outfit. Here are some of the best new socks for fall that will wow even the most picky sock critics.
Click through to see who made the best back to school sock edition and a GIVEAWAY…
Babies, Tots, Kids: Hank & JoJo
A relatively new company, Hank & JoJo are the masterminds behind the retro tube socks that scream “back to school” circa 1970s. So far they’ve only dabbled in the baby sock market, but now, wait for it, they are expanding their line of these retro tube sock wonders to toddlers and kids! Eco-friendly bamboo and dyed with AZO-free dyes, these unisex socks come in a lead-free lunchbox package that can be used every day. Available for pre-order, you better get these before they sell out. Or, check out the giveaway below.
Tots: EZ Sox
My son will be attending pre-school in September, so along with learning all the requisite skills like finger painting, sitting still for more than 5 seconds and playing nice, he will also have to start learning the art of getting himself dressed and pulling on his socks all by his lonesome. The people behind these too-cute training socks have made that job easier by attaching two loops to each sock so tots can learn to dress their feet all by themselves. The EZ Sox will come in handy for those morning rush hours when you don’t have time to get them dressed, let alone yourself.
Babies and Up: Trumpette Knee Highs
Trumpette has had the monopoly on cute sock wear for a long time now — and for good reason. They continually push the envelope to help babies and tots experience the joy of fashionable footwear minus the shoes. The latest edition of the cutest knee highs for girls (available for pre-order) will keep their feet warm, stylish and will pair beautifully with all the new fall looks.
>>GIVEAWAY: Shout, rave and opine on the beauty of the Hank & JoJo sock collection, and you could win a pair for your little monkey!
CONGRATS to Karen Mwins on winning the socks!

My six-year-old is freaking out over the toe seams on her socks. Can anyone recommend seamless (or otherwise very comfortable) socks? Thanks!
Karen Mwins commented on Aug 09 10 at 1:48 pmThese socks with lunch box are so stinkin’ cute!! I totally would have been sporting those back in the 70′s in elementary school, so I know my girls would love them, too!
Fingers crossed I’m the lucky pick!
