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.
Over-the-calf socks
Embrace the absolute elegance of connoisseurs with our selection of over-the-calf socks. Among this wide choice of models with impeccable below-the-knee support, you will discover classic and formal pieces in fil d'Écosse ideal for suits, more modern and comfortable textures for everyday wear, through to original and thermoregulating materials such as wool to perfect your wardrobe in every season.
The secret of a perfect hold and the affirmation of an uncompromising elegance
The The Nines men's over-the-calf sock is the essential accessory to perfect your outfit while ensuring optimal daily podiatric comfort. Knitted in the traditional way in our family Italian workshop in Piedmont, it stretches neatly up to the knee to hug the shape of your calf without ever feeling tight. Far from standard socks that slip and bunch at the ankle, it uses premium noble materials and benefits from fine hand-linked toe seaming to eliminate any uncomfortable stitching.

The style detail that reveals your sense of distinction
Wearing over-the-calf socks is the subtle marker of a man who tends to his appearance down to the finest details, while asserting his personality. In a seated position, when the trousers ride up, this high sock ensures an impeccable visual transition by avoiding any exposure of the leg's skin, thus respecting the codes of modern elegance. Whether dressed in a classic and understated shade for the office or daring a vivid and colorful hue (orange, thyme green, purple), it adds a uniquely distinctive touch that enlivens your shoes and reflects a very assured sense of style.
Our technical tips: how to choose and match your over-the-calf socks?
Play with colors and seasons to elevate your silhouette:
- Thermal adaptation: Opt for our lightweight and breathable fil d'Écosse models to stay cool during summer, and switch to virgin wool in winter to create a genuine thermal shield under your trousers.
- The chromatic harmony rule: To visually lengthen your leg, match the color of your over-the-calf socks to the shade of your trousers, or create an elegant echo with an upper-body accessory such as your tie or pocket square.
- The perfect fabric glide: Thanks to the fineness of their gauge and their smooth surface, our over-the-calf socks allow the lining of your suit trousers to fall in a fluid and straight manner, without ever catching on the moving calf.

A question about our collections?
Les mi-bas offrent un meilleur maintien que des chaussettes classiques. Leur longueur permet de couvrir le mollet et d'éviter que la peau ne soit visible lorsque vous vous asseyez.
La principale différence réside dans leur hauteur. Les mi-bas montent jusqu'au-dessous du genou, tandis que les chaussettes s'arrêtent généralement au milieu du mollet ou plus bas.
Privilégiez une matière adaptée à la saison, comme le fil d'Écosse ou la laine mérinos, et une taille correspondant à votre pointure. Un bon mi-bas doit tenir en place sans comprimer le mollet.
Les mi-bas sont particulièrement appréciés avec un costume, car ils garantissent une silhouette plus élégante en gardant la jambe couverte, quelle que soit votre position.
La taille se choisit d'après votre pointure. Un modèle bien ajusté reste en place tout au long de la journée, sans glisser ni créer de plis.
