Wool socks - Traditional know-how

Wool socks

The designation "new wool“ complies with a product to which not more than 7% of other fibres has been added. The merino sheep originally comes from North Africa.

The advantages of wool socks

Merino wool comes from merino sheep, native to Australia and New Zealand, whose fleece is sheared annually. It has many advantages. Merino wool is a breathable fiber with self-cleaning properties: it better absorbs moisture and neutralizes bad odors. It dries quickly and maintains freshness, even in summer.

Merino wool also regulates temperature. It's a true insulating layer that protects from both cold and heat. We all know wool's properties when it comes to heat retention, but wool can also provide a cooling effect. The absorption of moisture will allow faster evaporation and drying, which will cool the fabric.

Wool socks are also very soft and don't itch because their fibers are finer! Easy to maintain, these wool socks won't shrink in the wash. Merino wool is also renewable, biodegradable, and very eco-friendly. Sheep shearing takes place maximum twice a year with natural regrowth, and the wool is not treated with chemical additives.

Match your wool socks with taste

Remember that a sophisticated outfit should not feature more than three different colors (shades don't count in this rule) which should overall remain subtle. Light blue and navy blue will work very well with a bright color element for example. The same rule applies to sock patterns which will be more elegant if they are smaller. Even a small pattern will bring originality to the outfit.

In a professional context, wear dark socks (black socks or navy blue for example) with your business attire. If you're comfortable with color matching, don't hesitate to try lighter and solid colors that are less common in work outfits, such as burgundy or camel. If you're attending a more casual event, have fun with colors and match your pair of socks to your pants! Unique patterns and vibrant colors are also welcome.

Color coordination also works between socks and belts. Have you decided to wear a leather belt or a nubuck belt in color? Put on wool socks in a similar shade to match it, guaranteed effect.
