Knee socks
Many men wear knee socks, rightly so. The knee-sock or high sock reaches knee level, providing pleasant warmth and total comfort. The man's knee sock is an accessory that underlines the elegance of all men, and never lets you see the legs.
The materials to favor for your knee-high socks and high socks
The knee-high sock reaches knee level, which helps maintain calf warmth and pleasant comfort. It emphasizes a man's elegance and prevents glimpses of his legs. Certain materials should be favored for knee-high socks. The flagship material for prioritizing your calf comfort is Scottish Cotton: it's a fine but very resistant and soft cotton fiber that has absorbent properties, ideal for all seasons. The Scottish cotton knee-high sock is less elastic and has a shiny appearance.
The organic Nile knee-high socks are the softest. This type of cotton is recognized for its extreme softness due to the length of its fibers. This organic cotton is composed of two different Egyptian cottons: Giza 45 (considered the best cotton in the world) and Giza 87 (very precious and cultivated in the Nile Delta) which preserves colors very well.
Merino virgin wool comes from a sheep originally from North Africa whose fleece is sheared every year. This wool is renewable and natural. It brings warmth, lightness and resistance to knee-high socks. The wool knee-high socks are ideal for winter. Moreover, its fiber is intrinsically antibacterial and blocks odors.
Wear your knee-high socks and high socks with style
Within a formal environment, opt for easy and simpler combinations such as a navy blue suit with knee-high socks of the same color, a gray suit with gray knee-high socks and favor black or brown shoes for a guaranteed chic effect. If you feel comfortable with colors, try more original combinations like red or green knee-high socks and if the environment allows it, opt for striped or polka dot patterns.
The same rules apply if you wear a casual outfit. However, you can be much more free with patterns and wear knee-high socks in brighter colors. Try replacing your black pants with navy blue pants for a more subtle look. Nevertheless, we recommend not wearing knee-high socks with overly extravagant patterns.
As you will have understood, it is theoretically customary to match the color of your knee-high socks to your pants or shoes. It is important to remember that a perfect outfit consists of 3 major colors, not counting shade variations.
