SO I don't know about you guys, but the clothing item I most struggle with when the temperature drops is footwear.  Feet are delicate things, it's hard to keep 'em looking smart and feeling toasty all at once.

With this in mind, rather than rounding up the more obvious essentials such as scarves, hats or gloves this week, we've pulled together a round up of the sweetest socks (and, ah, one pair of stockings!) to keep your toes colourfully cosy this winter.  Once we started hunting we were amazed to uncover so many surprisingly eye-catching options!  And I'm happy to say for once it's not all about the ladies around here... we spotted some excellent picks for the fellas too.

MASSIVE enormous thanks to supremely talented still life stylist Sonia Rentsch, who collaborated with photographer Sean Fennessy to create these beautiful shots for your viewing pleasure!  Original product photography gets me rather excited I must say. Especially when it looks this fab!
