Total fun and whimsical socks.  They are MUCH nicer than other "fun" socks I've seen and touched. The patterns are bold but not clownish.  The colors can be worn with jeans and suits a like.  These hold up well in the wash, but don't expect them to be the same size when they come out of the wash/dryer.  They will look and feel smaller.  But they stretch to fit upon wearing them again.  These were a huge hit under the Christmas tree... I see them going through the laundry all the time which tells me my teen sons loved them.  :)
