Looking for long socks? Check out the men's department! We'll explain three popular brands carefully selected by our buyers!

While suit enthusiasts still adhere to the rule that "gentlemen should not show skin," the trend towards shorter trouser lengths and the adoption of colorful and pop-patterned socks as fashion accessories in casual wear has led to a growing awareness of socks as long hose (high socks) .
Underwear buyer Ohashi says, "Hose is an item that sells throughout the year, from people who are tidying up their appearance again at the start of the new fiscal year to customers who are replacing their spring/summer items. Recently, young businessmen have started to wear them more actively, and once you wear them, you'll be hooked."


More than just a grooming item, these socks tighten up both your look and your mood.


It's no exaggeration to say that "if you're going to buy long socks Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building ," because the sock section on the first basement floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building has a wide variety of socks, from authentic British, Italian, and Japanese made socks to casual socks that you won't find anywhere else. Sock lovers apparently never miss checking out the new arrivals as soon as the season starts.

"The biggest appeal of these socks is the sense of security they provide. They wrap around your calves and secure your socks in place, so you don't have to worry about them slipping down and preventing them from bunching up around your ankles. Also, because they tighten around the calves, putting them on before going out has a psychological effect of 'shifting into work mode!'" says Ohashi.
Surprisingly, many people check your footwear as proof of your competence at work, so pay attention to the impression you give from the outside, just as you do to your shoes.

This time, Ohashi will introduce three best-selling brands of hosiery that he recommends. From functional options perfect for beginners to playful and stylish designs, we'll explain them all.


Here's a lineup of the top 3 best-selling sock brands.
