The different materials
Combed cotton socks are manufactured in Italy and hand-linked to provide maximum comfort. Combed cotton is softer, more durable, and shinier than ordinary cotton. It is also certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, thus guaranteeing greater respect for your skin and the environment. These socks are ideal for refreshing a casual outfit and accompanying sneakers.
Lisle thread socks are high-quality socks, ideal for enhancing a dressy outfit. To increase the softness of our Lisle thread socks, our workshop uses a traditional knitting machine composed of 240 needles, 40 more than most machines used for sock manufacturing. In summer or winter, Lisle thread can be worn in any temperature thanks to its moisture absorption capacity.
Socks made from organic Nile cotton are known for their extreme softness, made possible by the length of their fibers. This organic cotton is composed of two different Egyptian cottons: Giza 45, considered the best cotton in the world, and Giza 87, a very precious cotton grown in the Nile Delta with a great ability to retain colors.
Merino wool socks have many advantages: they better absorb moisture and neutralize bad odors. In winter, merino wool protects against the cold. At the same time, in summer, this precious wool provides a cooling effect for your feet.
Cashmere socks - animal fiber from the undercoat of the goat of the same name - are ideal when the days start to cool. Cashmere is also known for its breathable properties and is very pleasant to wear, without itching.
The different patterns
Stripes bring originality to an outfit and subtly brighten it up. We recommend matching your striped socks in the same tones as your tie or bow tie if you're wearing one, or making a subtle reference to a color already present in your outfit.

The caviar pattern is characterized by the use of two threads of different colors knitted together that blend for a unique melted rendering. This discreet pattern - which seems to be plain when seen from afar - will go wonderfully with your entire wardrobe.

The houndstooth pattern is a timeless and graphic print. Made from Egyptian cotton spun on a machine with 240 needles, houndstooth socks are hand-linked for extra comfort. They are perfect for alternating with your plain, striped, or caviar pattern Lisle thread socks. Houndstooth socks are the subtle connection between your shoes and your trousers. We recommend opting for complementary colors for an elegant result.
A question about our collections?
Here are a few tips for choosing the right socks for each season:
-Summer: opt for cotton or linen socks. Cotton is light, breathable and absorbent, keeping your feet cool and dry on hot days. Linen socks, on the other hand, are equally light and quick-drying, offering a refreshing feeling.
-Autumn and spring: socks made from a blend of cotton and polyester or light wool are ideal. These materials offer good insulation while remaining breathable. Cotton-bamboo blends are also a good option, as they are soft and provide pleasant temperature regulation.
-Winter: opt for wool or fleece socks. Wool is an excellent thermal insulator, keeping feet warm yet breathable. Fleece socks, which are often thicker, offer extra comfort and warmth on colder days.
At The Nines, men's sock sizes are generally based on shoe size. Here are the available sizes:
-Size 39/41
-Size 42/43
-Size 44/46
It is always advisable to check the specific size guide available on the product sheets, as this may vary slightly. If you hesitate between two sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for greater comfort.
For daily use, we recommend socks made of combed cotton or mercerized cotton (Lisle thread). These materials are breathable, durable, and comfortable—perfect for an active day. Mid-calf or ankle socks are particularly suitable, depending on your style and needs. If you're looking for optimal support and an elegant finish, fine ribbed socks are an excellent choice. For cooler seasons, opt for merino wool socks, which provide thermal insulation while remaining lightweight and comfortable.
At The Nines, you’ll find a wide range of socks meeting these criteria, available in sizes 39/41, 42/43, and 44/46.
Socks that slip down can result from several factors:
-Incorrect size: If the socks are too large, they won’t stay in place properly. Make sure to choose a size that fits your foot perfectly.
-Worn-out elastic: Over time and with washing, the elastic may lose its stretch. Following care instructions helps extend their lifespan.
-Unsuitable fabric: Some materials can be more slippery, especially when paired with smooth shoes or tights. Fabrics containing elastane generally provide better hold.
To avoid this problem:
-Choose socks that fit your size and prioritize models with good elastic.
-Wash your socks at low temperatures to preserve their elasticity.
-If necessary, opt for longer socks or those with reinforced elastic bands.
