Introduction to origin:
1598 was transformed into a knitting machine capable of producing fine stockings. Soon, Fu Niai, a Frenchman, began to produce stockings in Lyon. It was not until the middle of17th century that he began to produce cotton socks. 1938 After DuPont invented nylon, the first batch of nylon stockings were put on the market in the same year. Since then, the sock market has completely changed, and nylon stockings has gradually become popular.
The fashion in Europe was relatively late, and it was not until 1945 that the first batch of nylon stockings was officially put on the market. According to textual research, the most primitive socks appeared in China Xia Dynasty (2 1 century-BC17th century). In Wen Zi, there is a saying, "The king of Wen cut down his worship, but his socks were untied", which refers to the loose tape of Zhou Wenwang's socks.
It can be seen from the two pairs of stockings unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty tomb in Wangdui No.1, Changsha that they are all made by a whole silk tailor, sewn on the foot surface and back, and the bottom is seamless. The hosiery tube is opened at the back, and a garter is tied at the opening. The number of socks is 23cm and 23.4cm, and the height of socks tube is 2 1cm and 22.5cm.
Development:
Before people wear socks, people always use leggings in a broad sense. This can be traced back to ancient Egypt, when leather leg straps and socks-like clothing were sewn with hemp or wool fabrics. When the Crusades arrived, Shosshaw socks appeared, but it was not designed for ladies. Socks made of silk fabrics across the army are more beautiful.
Ladies decorate their ankles with exquisite shoes, flashing under beautiful skirts. At that time, socks were a man's patent. 1589, William Li Faming, a student from the British seminary, invented a machine for sewing socks by hand, which was six times faster than that by hand. This is the originator of sewing machine. At the same time, the ladies began to wear socks.
The industrial production of socks began at 1860, and the socks industry has been looking for new materials to replace rare and expensive silk. The appearance of blended yarn has made the socks industry a great success. 1928, DuPont showed the first pair of nylon stockings, and Bayer introduced polypropylene socks. 1940, high-tube nylon stockings set the highest sales record in the United States and began to become a common commodity.
Boat socks appeared in the early1980s, when tennis clothes began to rise. The classic style has two fur balls at the ankle, which was popular again in the mid-2000 s, but many styles have been changed, mainly used to match skateboarding clothes, followed by shorts or short skirts.
Some girls wear contact socks because they want to fully show the curve of their legs. Socks are not good-looking, so they are usually worn when they are exercising or walking in the leisure style, usually with shorts or hot pants. Or sweaty feet when wearing shoes can absorb sweat.
