Do you need a little perk-me-up? Then you might need a collection of colourful socks to put on. This is because colours have psychological effects on us. Warm colours like red, orange, and yellow stir up feelings of warmth and comfort. While cool colours like blue, purple, and green induce calmness or even sadness.
With this in mind, we chanced upon a local socks company named Freshly Pressed Socks. We headed straight to their website to shop their range of quirky-designed socks and thought maybe you guys would be interested too.
Having been in the industry for 5.5 years, their brand has won a shout-out from Peter Linz, who performs Ernie on Sesame Street. Furthermore, they have had partnerships with other brands like Grab, UOB, Gamestart Asia, Sole Superior, and Mothercare over the years.
We also love how all of their socks are designed with details that reflect a character and story behind them. We will show you some right away!
#1: SINGAPORE SERIES
Since our nation’s birthday is coming right up in a few days, we shall give their Singapore Series the spotlight. There are 11 designs at the time of writing with all priced at 12 SGD for a pair.
MRT
Apparently, their MRT socks are one of the best-sellers among their wide offerings. Here’s how it looks like:
ICONS
There are also designs of Singapore’s iconic skyline and Supertrees highly raved by visitors.
FOODS
For the foodies, you might want to get your hands (or rather, feet!) on the kueh tutu, kueh lapis, or iced gem biscuits.
View the rest of the Singapore Series here.

We will show you three familiar characters that are all priced at 12 SGD too.
