Socks?

[Servo2000]

Probably an unusual thread, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any interesting / well-made / thick / thin whatever... socks? Anything caught your eye recently?

I wear buttight slacks / jeans most of the time, and I usually show a good couple of inches of sock since I roll up / crop my pant legs when I wear heeled (dress) shoes. Been sticking mainly with the classic maroon / navy and black on occasion, but I found one interesting pair of these thin navy-blue socks that had really intricate but subtle patterns woven into the sock.

I can't imagine there's too much demand for "designer" socks and honestly, I probably wouldn't buy them, but I'll see if any of you have any suggestions / ideas.

I heard the Uniqlo socks change lives.

Don't know why and haven't tried them though... I think the answer is somewhere in the Uniqlo thread.

I saw that thread, but it was pretty much smartwool / gold toe / uniqlo other than the last post, which is the other picture that inspired the thread:

Where I capture Lanvin socks? How much HP?

Those Lanvin socks aren't out yet. I guess they'll start rolling in with the first stuff from the SS collections.

To answer the topic, I just bought a pair of light-blue - but not turquoise socks from COS (http://www.cosstores.com/). They are quite thin. I can't find them on the homepage, and I'm not at home right now, so I can't take a picture.

I bought them because i too roll up my pants/jeans when I wear dress shoes.

if you're looking to be reasonable and not spend $80 on a pair of socks, uniqlo is definitely the way to go. they're thick, very comfortable, and hold up well. i have socks from barneys that run about $25-$30 a pair and i prefer almost all my uniqlo's over them.

red uniqlo socks do change lives, if you doubt this then you obviously haven't tried them.

My favourites so far:

Duchamp (superb quality, crazy patterns)

Richard James (good colour combinations)

Falke (great quality solid colour)

Maybe not the most subtle choice and neither of them are thin, but works great for winter and looks good imo.

falke and uniqlo are my foot friends

monocle magazine seems to bang on about falke quite a bit too, and I imagine they know thir socks (4.5)

check the dock shoot from the most recent(holiday) issue of anthem. the grey ribbed socks used in that spread are from the sockman ny and are pure heaven.

Uniqlo socks are amazing for the price. If they were to make some mesh jawns for Spring, that would be fantastic.

I bought four pairs of Howick socks for 5 GBP a pair and they're great. Chunky material, a bit of extra length to allow them to bunch up a bit, and really warm and comfy.

I'll probably buy some Falke socks next. I can definitely never go back to H&M socks again.
