Can anyone pls explain?
Perhaps it's because I'm not an American or because I'm not a native English speaker and this is some well-known phrase..?

it's an illusion of trees and socks

"Can't see the wood/forest for the trees" is an idiom used when you're focussing so much on the smaller details that you miss the bigger picture.

Thanks for telling this. I learn a new idiom right now. :)

Some or quite many shirts here have some meaning like this. Non-native English speakers like me can't get it and the shirt will become less attractive (to them/me).

But I do appreciate these ideas/designs. But if I buy this and wear this, others just don't know whats going on.

You don't even need to know the phrase, it's a pretty awesome design anyway. The gaps between the legs are trees! The socks are grass and sky! Oh my word, it's crazy!

Thanks.. We actually have that phrase in Hebrew as well (phrased: "with all the (these) trees you can't see the forest").

Thought the socks had some meaning..
Especially that I misheard some song's lyrics as if they were "couldn't see the for the socks" (it was "docks") so I figured there's some socks idiom I didn't know :)

Anyways-
Thanks!
