5 Types of Socks and How to Wear Them
Picture this: You’ve cobbled together the perfect outfit for the night. The pants are just right, the top fits perfectly, the shoes match like a dream—then you open your sock drawer and the realization slowly dawns upon you that you have precisely zero clue which socks to wear.
We’ve all been there. Socks make or break outfits and society isn’t making it easy on us with all the different types of socks available on today’s market. Do you go the no-show sock route for socks that are your little secret? Or do you stunt on ‘em with crew socks that everyone can see? This wild world might have too many types of sock lengths, but we’re here for you. Men, women, and non-binary folks, let us show you the way with this guide on all things socks.
Cozy Socks
How to Wear Them
Are your feet typically cold? Allow us to change your life. Our Cozy Socks were designed to provide the absolutely maximum comfort with super-plush, double knit fabric and grippies on the bottom to prevent slipping. You don’t even need shoes anymore! How rad is that?
Level of Coverage
These socks are crew length for extra-cozy coverage, so your ankles will thank you. Prepare for perfectly-toasty-but-not-sweaty feet all year round.
Crew Socks
How to Wear Them
Row, row, row your boat with our Crew Socks. Or don’t row any boat and just chill with these full coverage socks that are perfect for, well, anything. Our Breathe Crew Socks are perfect for any type of movement—running, lawn mowing, Peloton-ing—and our Supima cotton Crew Socks have a terry-knit stitch in the sole for tons of bounce and support. Plus, our patterns will give any outfit a nice style boost. Get ready to hear, “nice socks!” a lot.
Level of Coverage
Our Crew Socks provide the maximum amount of coverage, hitting mid-calf. This is the right sock to protect your ankles or add some flair to any ‘fit.
Quarter Socks
How to Wear Them
Have you ever wanted to have a fun-sock day but lacked the energy required to pull a sock allllllll the way up your leg? Same. That’s why we invented our Quarter Socks. They’re perfect for a peek of pattern or color just over the top of your sneakers while your legs take a breather.
Level of Coverage
These socks will hit your upper-ankle, or the exact height of your fave Chelsea boots or high-tops.
Ankle Socks
How to Wear Them
Are you looking for comfortable socks that look great but don’t steal the show from your shoes? Our Ankle Socks were designed with you in mind. We made this sock with a non-chafe blister tab so that your sneakers don’t gobble your socks and your skin. We also tend to think our Breathe Ankle Socks are the best for running, so if there’s any fellow pavement-pounders, give these a look.
Level of Coverage
As the name suggests, these socks hit right at the ankle. If you don’t want anything distracting from your legs, these are the way to go.
No Show Socks
How to Wear Them
Ah, the secret everyone should know about: No-Show Socks. These socks will save your shoes from a lifetime of smells and nobody ever even has to know. Also, say goodbye to blisters, because these bad boys are made with silicone gel grips that allow for no sagging or slipping.
Level of Coverage
This is the thong of socks. While these socks offer limited coverage, they offer a big impact in terms of comfort and keeping your shoes fresh.
Socks are vital, socks are life. We’ve always said, “Choose the right socks and you’ll be happy all day.” Hopefully we’ve helped shed some light on what the right socks are for you, but as with many things in this life, the only way to truly know is by trying yourself. Our Sock Packs are a good way to get started. You’ve got this!
