Very quattrocento

In renaissance Italy it was the fashion among the young men to wear different coloured leggings - you've seen it in paintings - but just try to find an image when you need it...

The director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales is famous for his odd socks. They sell mismatched socks in the Gallery shop now.

I really like the graphic quality of this photo. the circles on the chair echoed in the dots behind the girl, but contrasted with the stripy shoes. and all in colours and tones and just right proportions that really work together.

I don't even think you were probably composing,just focusing on the tights! but it is stellar!

I want some. I wish they sold them in the UK. Do they? x

At the time, I was told these "odd socks" were available, but I never went looking for them. You could cut one leg each off two pairs of tights??
