Sock trivia: the most different socks

Although it sounds weird, socks are probably the oldest clothing still in use today. Socks have been around since the Stone Age, long before the concept of pants or T-shirts. Today it seems to be the most overlooked part of clothing.

The first knitted socks were made in ancient Egypt. The earliest known surviving knitted socks were made using a technique called naalbinding, which dates back to 300-500 AD and was found in Okhirinkus on the Nile in Egypt. The sock has a split toe that can be worn with sandals.
