Sock Styles
Argyle socks feature a geometric knit pattern that produces a balanced design of multi-colored diamond figures against a solid-color
background. The background color should match your shoe or pant color. Ideally, the contrasting colors should coordinate with your
shirt and/or tie color.
This sock is designed for active sports. It has a ribbed top and plain-foot construction. Athletic socks can also offer high-performance
features like special fibers, triple-layer construction, or pads to protect against abrasion and blisters.
With coverage up to the mid-calf, this sock has extra reinforcement and cushioning for extra protection in
heavy-duty work shoes or boots.
This is the name given to most men's socks that aren't athletic, dress or work sock related.
A mid-calf sock, these socks are ribbed and may be worn straight up, scrunched, or cuffed.
Usually black, a dress sock is made of a thin knit, and comes to
above the calf. These socks are worn for special and formal
occasions - usually with a tuxedo.
These are socks with their own set of specific features to address the needs of a specific sport. They're often made with
padding for specific areas such as the ball, toes, instep, heel, arch or shin. The fabric blends will also be specific to the
intended sport.
Thermal socks are winter-weight socks favored by skiers, skaters, or others who spend a great deal of time outdoors in cold weather.
They can be made of heavy acrylic, wool, polypropylene or a blend of fibers.
