During this time of post-presidential election anxiety, Hannah Lavon’s line of mismatched socks that encourage kids to get to know others who are “different” seems like an especially timely holiday gift.
The Brooklyn entrepreneur’s Pals Socks make unlikely pairings from their line of charming, vividly hued characters as a reminder to kids to see past the outside and get to know the person on the inside, because they just might find a friend. For instance, a red-and-black ladybug is matched with a bright green caterpillar with blue stripes.
Pals Socks are a blend of combed cotton, polyester, nylon, and spandex, and the bottoms have silicone skid-free grips. They range in size from infant to 4-8 for kids, and they offer adult versions, too, so the whole family can “defeet the norm” together.
