At this time of year, when you look at fashion influencers online, it seems they aren't fazed by harsh weather. They wear simple turtleneck sweaters, suits, and open-front coats, looking effortlessly stylish, as if they live in a perpetual, carefree autumn, untouched by the elements.
For those of us in tropical climates, there's no need for down jackets, nor do we daydream about needing them. In Malaysia's typical tropical rainforest climate, we don’t experience sudden drops in temperature, heavy snow, or cold waves. The most we get is increased rainfall, which slightly cools the ground. It’s the same sweltering midday heat, the same iced coffee to kickstart the day.
Because of this unique climate, our idea of winter is different. We focus on breathable, comfortable fabrics, with deeper, more muted colors to evoke the feeling of cooler temperatures.
This collection introduces two socks: USUL and LAPIS. Both are simple and versatile in design, emphasizing the warm texture of cotton in the most efficient way. The colors are calm and harmonious, with a light, pure, neutral tone.
With a variety of colors to choose from, these socks can easily add a finishing touch to your overall look. The range of options unlocks your styling potential.
No matter how you first learned about Malaysia, the year-round summer-like weather is likely one of its defining features. As the year ends, apart from increased rainfall, everything else remains the same—the bright sunshine, the sweat. Living here feels like living in an eternal, carefree summer, unaffected by the weather. Yet this doesn’t stop us from using color to imagine the romance that winter brings.
Introducing, TROPICAL WINTER. Breathable tropical socks that look like winter.
