Mismatched socks are always a bit of a chore. Sometimes they've just been paired up wrongly, and as you're scrambling about half blind with sleep in the mornings, matching socks are the last thing on your mind. Other times you're just trying to pair up whatever's left, socks having the the miraculous tendency to go missing; lost somewhere in a jumble of laundry, disappeared into the void of a washer or dryer somewhere, leaving behind their twin who you might just end up pairing with another orphaned sock. It's pretty cool then that a company is selling some colourful, cheerful, cartoonish branded socks, which are not only deliberately mismatched to provide a quirky look, but are also intended to teach some life lessons like a Saturday morning cartoon special.

Stylish Branded Socks that are Completely Mismatched

Pals socks originally started with mittens and socks that were decorated with natural enemies. The creators soon decided that it would be better if they didn't promote conflict, but instead embraced unlikely friendships. Hence the Pals socks range was born, featuring unusual pairings of dissimilar animals, monsters, and robots. Cats and dogs. Koalas and Pandas. Dinosaurs and Insects. Werewolves and Zombies. Earth and Space Robots. The idea was to teach its wearers that it was a great thing to make friends with someone who seemed like your opposite, or unlike you in every way. That's a rather valuable life lesson, and from a pair of mismatched socks no less.
