post the proof.

The mechanic that makes the tan line famous. Sock on, tan on, sock off, line revealed, post tagged.

  1. Step 01

    Wear the socks.

    Put on a fresh pair of BGE socks. Cream, ribbed cuff, sits two inches above the ankle.

  2. Step 02

    Apply Australian Glow.

    Over the top of the socks. Up the leg, around the cuff, everywhere you want a tan line.

    Most members reach for the 1 Hour Express Mousse for the body — and finish the look with the Face Tan Drops above the collarbones. All available at Priceline and Amazon. View the product →

  3. Step 03

    Let it develop.

    Wait the time on the bottle — 1 hour for express, 4 hours for tan water. Stay dry.

  4. Step 04

    Pull the socks down.

    Slowly. The reveal is the point. Roll the cuff, do not rip them off.

  5. Step 05

    Reveal the tan line.

    A clean, sharp band of untanned skin where the cuff sat. The brand built into your leg.

  6. Step 06POST

    Post the proof.

sock test of the week.

Maya's first Sock Test landed the cleanest cuff line we've seen all season. Medium mousse, 1-hour develop, BGE Sock pulled at 60 minutes flat.

The receipts

questions, answered.

Yes. The mechanic depends on the cuff staying put while you tan. Any heavy ribbed sock will work in principle, but the BGE sock is built for it — cream cotton, locked ribbed cuff, in a colour that does not stain.
