Hello! I'm Haru, a fashion geek!
"There is an incredibly good sock brand."
This is a specialized sock brand that Mr. Kaneko, the designer of calmanthology, praised after saying exactly that.
Do you often have the opportunity to be particular about the socks you choose?
I think most people use Uniqlo or
more affordable items.
Of course, I use them too.
When I previously introduced a blurhms tank top on the blog,
I mentioned being particular even about parts that aren't visible,
so I can understand the opinion that since socks are even less visible than a tank top, there's no point in being particular about them.
Also, they wear out faster than tank tops or T-shirts,
and no matter how good they are,
socks will always come to an end.
Honestly, that point cannot be denied.
So, how about changing your perspective,
and instead of thinking of them as socks for daily use,
treating them as a fashion item?
If you choose them not as a tool to protect your feet,
but as an item to enjoy fashion, your perspective will change and your vision will widen.
Don't be particular about what's hidden,
be "particular to show them off."
If you don't use them every single day, they won't wear out as easily,
and they will elevate the level of your styling by several notches.
Choosing stylish socks can be simple,
but because it's also difficult, it's deep.
Of course, you can wear them as they are without a second thought,
but if you're going to the trouble, I want you to cast a "supporting actor" that will make your "leading" items shine even more.
The brand I am introducing today is a specialized sock brand that is being handled at sign for the first time.
The name of the brand is...
CONLEAD
It is not always just the lead actor who gets the spotlight
at the Academy Awards.
In films praised as masterpieces,
the presence of wonderful supporting actors
(Co-lead Actors) who flesh out the story
is indispensable.
In fashion, the existence of socks is like a supporting actor.
They connect clothes and shoes,
bring them to life (co-lead),
and sometimes can even become the lead.
With such thoughts, the name CONLEAD was created,
combining "Connect" and "Co-lead."
This philosophy is something I deeply empathize with,
and it is a brand that allowed me to reaffirm the importance of socks.

Mr. Kaneko, the designer of calmanthology,
uses them regularly himself,
to the extent that he even matches them with calmanthology's
leather shoes.
The fact that the designer himself wears them with shoes he created means...
it is definitely correct!
In other words,
everyone who owns calmanthology must choose them, haha.
They are actually used with calmanthology
in the LOOK, and their compatibility is high.
Of course, with sneakers, other shoes,
or even sandals in the future,
the combinations are infinite.
If you take a look at CONLEAD's
official Instagram,
you can see various stylings and ways to wear them,
so I think it will be easier to imagine how to use them,
so please take a look if you are interested!
By the way, I have already
bought the red socks, haha.
I already have a basic pair of red socks,
but CONLEAD's socks are a bit different.
They don't have too much presence,
yet they don't lose out to other items;
they are truly a "supporting actor."
What brings out this charm is not just the color,
but the dressy texture of the lace knit.
It isn't see-through, but when you look up close,
you can faintly see skin through the lace,
and that delicacy exudes a sexiness that normal socks don't have.
Because they are simple, they can be styled both casually and modishly,
which is exactly why they can add glamour to your styling.
Some say they "don't know how to wear" long socks,
but personally, while I like wearing them pulled up straight,
I recommend bunching them up to add volume for a different look!
When it comes to CONLEAD items, precisely because they are "actors,"
they will perform exactly as the wearer envisions.
How would you use this item?
Please let me know in the store!
