Socks

Which sock length for which occasion?

For a smart outfit, go for mid-calf socks: high enough never to show any skin when you cross your legs, which is the main style faux pas. For casual wear and trainers, choose trainer socks or invisible socks. Short socks have no place with a suit.

Should your socks match your trousers or your shoes?

The classic style rule: match your socks to the colour of your trousers, not your shoes. This visually lengthens the leg and creates a harmonious continuity. Patterned socks are acceptable in a relaxed setting or to add a controlled touch of personality, but never in a strictly formal context.

Why combed cotton for socks?

Combed cotton has had its short fibres removed: softer, stronger and less prone to pilling. For a piece worn all day inside a shoe, this quality limits moisture, odours and premature wear. It is the difference between socks that last a season and socks that last for years.

How do you stop socks slipping down or losing their shape?

Choose the right size (socks that are too big slip down) and go for a quality elasticated rib cuff. Wash at 30-40°C without fabric softener and air dry: tumble dryers stretch the elastic. Wash pairs together to avoid odd socks and uneven wear.

How do you organise and replace your socks?

Keep dress socks and sports socks separate, and replace pairs as soon as the elastic wears out or the heel thins. A few quality pairs in combed cotton, replaced regularly, are better than a drawer full of misshapen cheap socks.
