Socks, the most underrated article of clothing

[Sook A Look]

I just got a shitload of Nike socks with clima cool for christmas, I dunno if it works but the idea makes sense. They're just socks I suppose.

The only problem I've found with socks like that (as well as uniqlo athletic socks) is that they seep heat from your body to keep you cool...which is the point after all, but blows if you wear them and it's cold outside to begin with. Same thing with Uniqlo dry tees. I'll wear them out because they fit nice (never bought them for athletic use) and I'll end up shivering indoors.Okay so shivering is an exxageration but you get the point.

Hands down....Lacoste. The most comfortable socks I've ever worn. $10 a pop.

agreed. ^^^

[schmoses]

only white tube....unless rocking knickers then it's red or blue baseball socks. marc jacobs cashmere greys have been a great accesory this winter. never ankle socks which i think is kinda lame....jeez, what a hypocritically pedantic first statement.

bottom line:tubers or bust!

I've been wearing black and gray H&M socks since I was in middle school. I still buy those because they're cheap and feel nice.

imho white socks are horrible. paul smith ones are great, or go for Gallo, an italian brand (without website, gosh...) with wonderful colours and patterns and also an amazing quality. every single sock has to pass 9 quality checks before reaching the shops. and of course super-fine materials

Asics Kayano socks are the best running socks I've had. They're light and really nice.

I like Paul Smith socks for winter. BR socks on sale are a good wardrobe filler.

Marks and Spencer socks - good price:quality

[snugglepony]

bump.

i meant to respond to this one last month, but it was during my superfuture silent treatment...

anyway!

whoever said "uniqlo" wins.

* they come in every color imaginable.

* they're priced at 4 pairs for $10.

and most importantly:

* they've got great elastic that runs the entire length of the sock.

i don't know about you all, but i can't stand socks that fall down and bunch around the ankles ("quitters" in the common parlance). uniqlos are the only mid-calf socks that stay up for me...

[mr fluffernutter]

I have trouble finding socks that fit my feet and stay up...

Someone help me understand sock sizing.

white polo sport ankle socks are my favourite, i also have some dope h&m socks that i bought because i just bought kicks i wanted to wear and didnt have socks on that turned out quite awesome, oh and nike reeeally short socks for ball

[schmoses]

does uniqlo have any the go over the calf? mid-calf just doesn't work for me.

yar -

they're long enough and stretchy enough to go over the calf.

4 pairs for $10 really isn't a deal, i'm telling you people, $6 for 3 pairs of reebok socks at tjmaxx. Black socks for life

because if we are my socks will fuck you up.

[poly800rock]

bring it snuggle...i got Dan & Dan on my feet

[snugglepony]

i don't even know what that means, so i guess you win

you've got me at a disadvantage today anyway, as i'm wearing white adidas crew socks.

made for women.

'cause i like 'em snug.

[xPortOfMiami]

i only wear black socks.

Me too.

I thought I was the only one out there.

[mlproject]

despite uniqlo sucking massive dong lately, they have those ultra low trainer socks that i had only previously been able to find about 4 years ago by polo. best believe i picked up like 15 pairs.

[mr fluffernutter]

anyone know where to get mustard yellow dress socks?

[snugglepony]

anyone know where to get mustard yellow dress socks?

uniqlo ma dude.

[lilodxd]

any brand that stays soft after many washes? polo lasts for quite a while but any others?

[mr fluffernutter]

uniqlo ma dude.

i need to find someone to buy them for me then...

Smart Wool 3/4 length athletic socks. They look classy and feel very soft.

[Larry Bird]

versace. (just like silk..the best)

lacoste. (good color variety)

but no socks in summer....i like to get athletes foot and have my shoes smell like cheese...besides, its too damn hot here.

[patience]

This was the subject of a Styleforum thread but... white socks: why not? I don't really think anything else goes well with plain white sneakers.

[RockTheVote]

always wanted a pair of cashmere socks....

I didn't care about socks (I never wear sporty white cotton socks) until I got one pair of cashmere (for 5 bucks @ fred Segal sales).. I was speechless.

[lv d0n]

I get uniqlo socks.

[lestat]

is it just me or is uniqlo socks from NY bigger than the ones from Japan?

Gold Toe black socks... $11 for 6 pairs @ Century 21

[totally epic]

Bump.

Another vote for Smartwool. Their light hiking socks are the best thing since sliced bread. Size small fits me (I wear 8-8.5 shoes). You can wear em for days without stretching, smelling, getting damp, etc. My pair I bought a year ago is still in great condition. I'm going to convert most of my everyday socks to Smartwool.

They're pricey @ $15-20/pair, but you can find some good deals online once you find your size.

[billy dee williams]

ive always wanted some nice black socks.
