Socks. The building blocks of a good outfit. Sure, they’re not always the star of the sartorial show, but they do hold the power to ruin a well-thought-out ensemble if badly selected, and are certainly liable to repair. But snagging the perfect pair (be it dress socks, black socks, colour socks, or otherwise) can often align your styling, keep you smelling fresh, and repeatedly endure your gnarliest walks.
Even if just for the personal fuzzy feeling that comes with sliding on a luxurious pair, they’re worth an ounce of your attention to get right. But there are some considerations to hold in your mind when getting down, dirty, and into the sock draw.
