I remember it very clearly. It was around Christmas 2014 and these brightly colored socks were the rage. They were selling like hotcakes and I could see men of all ages wearing them to school, to work, to parties, to everywhere. I thought about buying a few myself but I hesitated in the end. I simply found them a bit too loud although absolutely colorful and eye catching. Fast forward to January 2016, I hardly see them for sale nor on sale. How fast people's tastes change. As one cliche goes, "Here today gone tomorrow."
