Socks

Socks are a classic element that really grounds an anime character's outfit. As you'd expect, they run the gamut from plain white ankle socks in school settings to intricately patterned thigh-high socks that really define the iconic Zettai Ryōiki style.

This is an element that fans really love because it encompasses so many different moods, from cozy indoor scenes with soft bokeh blurs to sharp and edgy techwear styles with urban settings and bold color schemes. The artwork really pops with the orange tones or the shadows that really make the texture of the fabric stand out. Not to mention, an honest photo of the character rocking some stylish stockings looks great on any phone lock screen!
