History
↓↓
Socks have been worn since ancient times. The earliest socks, called “tabi,” were made from animal skins or woven fabrics and worn by the Greeks and Romans. In Japan, traditional socks (tabi) with a separation for the big toe have been used for centuries, especially with sandals such as zōri or geta.
Modern socks, made from knitted materials, became common worldwide during the 19th century. Today, socks are a standard part of everyday clothing and come in countless styles, colors, and materials.
