I've been noticing more people wearing socks with prints and knee high compression socks as opposed to the standard white socks in the late 2010s.

Is it in my head or is this a thing?

They've been a thing throughout the 2010s.

Justin Trudeau is iconic for them! This Facebook page was created in 2016 https://www.facebook.com/Justintrudeaussocks/

Back in the 1980s at the time of the release of the movie "Brazil", the director Terry Gilliam worn either Union flag or Stars and Stripes socks for a live interview on stage.

I doubt if pictures of this are on the World Wide Web.

Could they work with wearing dress pants?

My kid has loved wearing socks with food print and other crazy print for most of this decade.

I have noticed that people wear unmatched socks. I'm sure they have another pair just like them at home.

Maybe people have gotten lazy that they don't have the time to find the other half.

No, they purposely put on mismatched socks.

James does this for school.  In the first 5 years of senior school he was required to wear plain grey or black socks with a grey blazer and trousers, and a blue shirt.  For the last two years of school he can choose his own suit and shirt colour and wear any socks he likes. He chooses to wear mismatched brightly coloured and patterned socks.  The only socks he pairs up are the two sets with drum kit prints on them.

They end up on the Island of Lost Socks which is next to the Island of Lost Luggage.

I must visit that island one day.

The Island of Lost Socks

If you look under your washing
machine you will probably see a trap
door its actually all ways been there you've
just never seen it before.

Its easy to get in  you
just open it with three knocks
and behind it you will find
a river that leads to
the island of lost socks.

The socks of the
island are the socks
that got away from awful
terrible life of smelling
feet all day.

Now they run around
in sunshine enjoying the
magnificent views and knowing
they will never again
halve to fill anyone's
shoes.

They never get
holes runs or snags
they never get sold
at half a price they are
always warm and fresh
smelling cause this is sock
paradise.

So next time when
you notice a few of your
socks have vanished without
a trace don't bother looking in
the laundry because they are
in a much happier place.
