Sure, it might sound silly, but I truly believe that my life will be better if I can sort out my socks. It's a feeling I'm only more certain of after speaking to Randy Goldberg, co-founder of the socially responsible sock company Bombas. "A good pair of socks is the bedrock of hygge season," he tells me. "The foundation. Where it all starts."
It's hard to argue with this logic if you've ever had cold, wet feet. Thankfully, a lot of brands have really stepped up their sock game this season. L.L. Bean, a mainstay in many sock drawers, has partnered with Darn Tough to design an exclusive sock (produced proudly in New England) packed with all the natural benefits of merino wool. Bombas is also big on using the fiber for its socks because "merino is a natural moisture-wicking fabric ensuring your feet stay dry all day," Goldberg explains.
