In my younger years I wasn’t sure who I was or what I wanted. My wardrobe choices were an imitation of what I saw in the media and from those I looked up to around me. Unfortunately I was raised in a conservative culture where neutral and dark colors dominated. I finally decided to break away from what I was comfortable with and started to bring some color into my life. I wasn’t sure where to start and felt very uncomfortable trying something so different. Thus my journey begins.

It started one day when I pulled out every article of clothing I owned and went through it all, piece by piece. I was frustrated during Covid and wanted to do some life cleaning. As I was going through my wardrobe, there was a glimpse of color buried deep in my drawer. It was a pair of bright yellow socks with a zebra pattern that I had never worn. “Hmmm… interesting, let me see how these fit”, I thought to myself. Looking at the mirror I wiggled my toes and checked out myself in these socks. Dressed in an oversized t-shirt and pajama pants I felt a spark of joy! This was the change I didn’t know I needed, socks! It was something so simple and small, but it gave me the courage to break out of my shell. I ran around and did a little dance, as if my feet finally got its first glimpse of sunshine in three decades. It was a small but exhilarating feeling to explore something for myself.

I am the type to share joy with those around me and I wanted to pursue a life that honored that. I started to share my revelation with those around me and started to see a dazzling world of color and design out there. Socks are not a big investment or a showy piece, so its an easy way to show the world a little bit about our true selves. This is the inspiration behind Yangmal Jib!

Try a pair of socks that highlight your personality and show people a little bit of your colorful personality!
