How to Buy High Quality Dress Socks
When you're shopping for
dress socks, keep in mind that style almost always overrides comfort unless you find a high quality brand. Unlike
athletic socks or even
casual socks, dress socks aren't usually made to last and often wear out rather quickly, but we'll show you some of the best brands in the business with this quick guide.
Men often have the best selections here for the highest quality, although it can still be difficult to tell which brands will last for a long time. We really like
Banana Republic, which makes
argyle socks for both men and women made out of resilient microfiber with gentle calf bands to hold the socks in place.
IZOD also makes excellent socks for men, including
cotton dress socks and knits, all with wicking properties to control odor and moisture.
Definitely consider
Ralph Lauren and
Calvin Klein for cotton and microfiber fabrics as well as antimicrobial blends in classic styles. Calf ribs comfortably keep your socks in place. Stretch styles include rayon made from breathable bamboo fibers or Pima cotton blends. We also suggest that you discover the Italian quality of
Marcoliani socks for men and women in mid-calf and full-calf styles as well as
knee high socks.
For a slightly more casual feel with the same dressy patterns and styles, we like ECCO's argyle and
anklet socks for men and women. The men's Coolmax collection is one of our favorites with a non-restrictive top made from Mercerized cotton which feels like silk, available in a wide range of professional patterns.
Our final featured brand is Trumpette, perfect for children, which features the
Trumpette Minnie socks and
Trumpette Tights. Not to be confused with the Mouse, Trumpette Minnies are soft-banded cuff argyle socks with non-skid soles, warm and comfortable, a very high quality sock that will last for a long time.
