Socks
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.
