Luxury fashion retailer Gucci recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the new White Tiger Socks. These luxury socks by the iconic brand boast a calf-high stretch knit in white with tonal stitching.
Made in Italy from premium cotton, polyamide, and elastane, these elevated socks feature the brand's signature colors — dark green and red — in the iconic striped pattern with the addition of a fierce, roaring embroidered tiger appliqué in the center of the middle red stripe.
The demure Gucci White Tiger Socks are described by the brand as being "an important part of Gucci's design narrative" and showcase the emerging resurgence of streetwear inspired socks in upscale fashion trends.
