For many people, socks are a detail of your outfit that you don’t really need to pay attention to. Everyone wears socks, and as long as they look decent and fit normally, it’s usually fine. But still, your socks can make or break your outfit. In this blog, you will find some tips that can help you choose the right socks.
The length of your socks
The length of your socks depends greatly on the outfit and your style. Are you wearing shorts with sneakers? Then try sneaker socks. These are socks that you hardly or do not see at all, and they give your outfit a neat look. With ankle socks or sneaker socks, you should make sure not to buy socks that slip down. For example, look here for the perfect ankle socks that don’t slip down. If you wear long trousers or chinos, you can, if you prefer, switch to slightly higher socks.
The colours of your socks
Socks come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. From black to pink and from bananas to horses, everything is possible in sockland. For those of us who don’t like patterns and bright colours… black, white or grey is also perfectly fine! Try to match the colours of your socks, just like the rest of your accessories, well with the rest of your outfit. Are you wearing a white shirt, black trousers and white shoes? Then try black sneaker socks where you just see the edge above your shoes. This gives your outfit that little extra!
Are white socks back in fashion?
White socks have long been taboo. This was not only because they really did not look stylish but also because there was a period in the 1980s when everyone wanted to wear white socks with every pair of trousers. In the years that followed, a kind of counter-movement arose against these white socks, which wanted to ban them completely from fashion culture. Nowadays, this taboo has largely been lifted and you can easily wear white ankle socks. Just try to make sure they match the rest of your outfit.
Not every ankle sock is the same; the height, the material and the cuff make the difference. Check our page about women’s sneaker socks for a handy overview of ankle socks versus footies. Plus tips to score that perfect pair that will stay in place guaranteed.
One more tip that is often overlooked: pay attention to the toe seam. Traditional socks have a thick seam that causes irritation, especially in tight shoes. SOLIT socks are completely seamless, which means there is no noticeable transition at the toes. This makes a huge difference for your daily comfort. Want to know more about this?
