EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement for Foxs Puttees Stockings from 1903. This vintage print showcases the innovative design of Foxs Patent Spiral Puttees, a fashionable alternative to traditional stockings and garters. The puttees, as depicted in the image, are designed with a spiral shape that winds from the ankle to the knee, providing a snug and comfortable fit without any turns or twists. The puttees were not only popular among women but also among men, offering a sleek and stylish solution for covering the leg from foot to knee. The Edwardian era, in which this advertisement was published, was a time of great change and innovation in fashion. Women's clothing became more fitted and feminine, while men's fashion saw the rise of the spats and puttees as essential components of their outfits. The puttees were not only fashionable but also practical, particularly for those engaged in active pursuits such as sports or military service. The spiral design allowed for easy application and removal, making them a convenient choice for those on the go. This advertisement offers a glimpse into the history of fashion and the role that innovative design played in shaping the way we dress. The puttees may no longer be in vogue, but they remain an intriguing piece of fashion history, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the past.
