What Is A Crew Sock?
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “what IS a crew sock?” then you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to clear up the crews and don’ts of this trendy cotton blend footwear that coddles your toes and your shins!
What is a Crew Sock?
If you hear the term “crew” and immediately think of boats, you’re not far off. Crew socks’ name originates from the US Navy and is the regulation length for Naval uniforms. That way, everyone on the crew feels like one united… crew!
Our Crew Socks come in a variety of colors, limited-edition prints, and fabrics. Because of their versatility and comfort, crew socks became so popular that in 1948, the term was officially added to the dictionary. In the world of socks, that’s quite a feat.
Our super soft Crew Socks are made from our signature Supima Cotton fabric, making them strong, stretchy, and resistant to pilling. That way, you can wear them all day long. Our Breathe Crew Socks are workout-focused, with sweat-wicking and anti-odor properties that work wonders for sweaty feet.
What Is the Difference Between Crew Socks and Regular Socks?
People ask this question a lot. The truth is that a crew sock IS a regular sock. There’s no standard sock. Each are categorized by length, materials, or fit.
The advantage to a crew sock is that it lives in that sweet spot between ankle and tube socks. It doesn’t leave your achilles exposed like an ankle sock (we all know how dangerous that can be,) nor does it tickle your knees like a tube sock. It snuggles your calves the way no lover has ever dared to.
What Is the Difference Between Crew Socks and Ankle Socks?
In the great crew socks vs ankle socks debate that’s been raging for generations, the simple answer comes down to how tall a crew sock is. A crew sock should come up to about the calf muscle, whereas an ankle sock, as the name suggests, stops at the ankle.
None of this was meant to trick anyone, but sock talk gets heated. It’s all about what feels right for your foot. That’s why MeUndies has both for you to try, and see which is your glass slipper (like Cinderella, if she was less bougie).
How Long are Crew Socks?
Crew socks usually come up 6-8 inches on the leg, or where the calf muscle begins. Ours hit mid-calf. How long a crew sock is where so much of their versatility comes from. Wearing shorts? Crew socks go with that. Wearing pants? Crew socks go with that. Butt naked running out the door after the love of your life? Bit weird, but at least you have your crew socks!
How to Wear Crew Socks
They can be worn in almost any setting. We’ve gone so far as to pull some examples for you:
Say “we are done, and I am having fun” with a bold summer print at the BBQ you know your ex is attending.
Impress the whole courtroom with crew socks that prove you haven’t committed any crimes against fashion.
With hoochie daddy shorts to show off all that sweet, sweet thigh meat.
With sandals to prove that you don’t care what anyone thinks of you.
We hope this helped clear up some confusion around the socks in your life. It should empower you to live confidently in your crews. Go forth, and take on the world with your shins adequately covered. Most importantly: crew you, boo.
