Simple socks with elevated details…

These have become our go-to for accessorizing a relaxed outfit. We love pairing them with a monochromatic look and letting the pink speak for itself. The little ribbons on the back and the signature Rocha pearl attachment speak volumes without being fussy. ($171, Farfetch)
