It may be considered the ultimate fashion faux pas, but English Heritage is calling on the nation to forego the sartorial sensibilities of the 21st Century and be inspired by the Romans as it launches the first Socks and Sandals Day today (Friday 8 July 2022) to mark the 1900th anniversary of the commencement of the building of Hadrian’s Wall. Anyone who shares a snap of themselves on social media today sporting the socks and sandals look can also spend this new national day enjoying – for free – one of English Heritage’s Roman sites; they’ll also be in with a chance of winning a pair of special Roman-themed socks designed by artist Luke Edward Hall.
