My sock drawer has been looking a little drab lately. It’s time to replace the basic black and white with something that’s got more pizazz! Socks are such a fun accessory — you can show them off, making them the focus of your whole outfit, or you can wear them as a little secret that shows only when you cross your legs. And cute socks always make a great gift, because generally one size fits all.

I took a look around for some fun cat-themed socks to add to my wardrobe and I was blown away by the options! I found cute cat socks, and cool cat socks, and crazy ones, too. I just may need to expand into another sock drawer after I do a little shopping! Check out what I found:

Knee socks are a favorite of mine. They’re fun to wear with boots, showing off just a little at the top, or put them with a short skirt and some flats to make a bold fashion statement. Here are some stylish knee-high options you may want to add to your leg ware collection:

1. Grey, Black & Yellow Knee High Cat Socks from Sock It To Me, $10 a pair
2. Cameow Cat Knee High Socks from Sock It To Me, $11 a pair
3. Pink & Black Cat Striped Knee Socks from ModSock, $10 a pair
4. Le Chat Noir Knee High Socks from ModSock, $10 a pair

These days, anything can be printed on fabric, including detailed photos, so of course cute cat photos have started appearing on everything, including socks! Real-life cat faces can now adorn your ankles and legs! Some companies, like SockPrints.com will even let you upload a photo of your own cat and print a completely customized set of socks. How awesome would it be to have your very own cat on a pair of socks?
