sock wristbands: new fashion


During the summer the Levi’s storefront on Michigan Avenue in chicago had a mannequin with the leg part of a sock cut off and then worn as a wristband. So on a cold morning in august (in the 50s), I was looking for some black socks to go with my black sweater. But I came across some old socks with holes in them. Instead of just throwing them out, I cut off the elastic part and made wristbands out of them.

Tip: Cut the sock so the entire length of the elastic makes a wristband. If you find it too long, you can fold it over. But it’s nice to have the length of the elastic hidden underneath the sweater or shirt you are wearing.
