The different materials of our black socks
The Nines black socks are available in different materials. We first offer the fil d'Écosse socks knitted in Italy. Fil d'Écosse is obtained through the mercerization of cotton fiber, which gives it a silky, lustrous appearance as well as increased resistance. The heels and toes are also reinforced for greater durability.
Our cotton socks are perfect for your feet. They are hand-linked and made of cotton as well as a small proportion of polyamide and elastane, and they adjust to the size of your feet. They are easy to wash thanks to their heat resistance. Our cotton socks, made in Portugal, can be worn all year round as they wick away heat in summer and retain it in winter.
The wool socks we offer are knitted from fine wool sourced from Oceania. The wool we select is shorn from merino sheep in Australia and New Zealand. It is natural and renewable, highly resistant, and also possesses antibacterial properties. This fiber is thicker and warmer and will help you face the cold in complete elegance thanks to its fine weave!
How to pair your black socks?
The first rule to consider when pairing your socks concerns your height. Indeed, shorter men will match their socks to their shoes in order to elongate the silhouette through a sense of continuity and to maintain a certain harmony. Taller men can break the match and play with colors according to their style. Additionally, thick white socks should only be worn with sports sneakers. No exceptions! Finally, your black socks must be long enough so as not to expose your calves.
If you prefer to keep a rather classic and understated style, plain socks and black socks are made for you. Pair your black socks with a suit and leather shoes in a similar color shade for a very elegant and sophisticated look.
If you wish to highlight other pieces of your outfit, black socks are also a wise choice. Black socks, blending into your look, will allow your shoes or trousers to stand out. Stay chic by pairing, for example, a pair of black socks with anthracite flannel trousers and a blazer of the same color. Do not hesitate to opt for patterned black socks for a more original touch!
