Women's cotton socks, fancy or warm
Women's socks are chosen based on their material and height: cotton or organic cotton for everyday wear, wool for winter, invisible socks for trainers, mid-high ones under trousers, and fancy designs for a splash of colour. Among the brands available are: Falke, Colorful Standard, and Burlington.
Combed cotton socks remain soft and durable, wash after wash.
Which women's socks to choose?
The women's socks that are ankle-length or foot socks disappear into trainers and ballerina shoes. Mid-calf socks are worn under trousers or can be seen with loafers. Knee-high socks keep your legs warm with a skirt.
What material for socks?
Cotton breathes and absorbs sweat; organic cotton offers the same comfort with a farming method free from synthetic pesticides. Wool and merino wool keep your feet warm in winter. A bit of polyamide or elastane adds durability.
How to wear fancy socks?
Fancy socks, with patterns or colours, add a touch of personality when worn with loafers, derbies, or trainers. They are more noticeable with cropped trousers or a skirt.
Socks with sandals: is it possible?
This has become a style choice embraced especially with anatomical sandals or mules during mid-season. Choose plain or ribbed socks.
Warm socks for winter: which ones?
Wool socks or a wool and cotton blend, which are thicker, keep your feet warm in boots; ensure they don’t compress your foot in the shoe.
How to care for your socks?
Wash them inside out at 30 or 40°C and let them air dry. Wool socks should be washed cold on a wool programme to avoid felting.

Frequently asked questions
How to stop socks slipping in trainers?
Choose ankle socks with a silicone heel that keeps them in place. A sock that’s too large tends to slide more.
What size socks should I take?
Socks are sold in size ranges. If you’re between sizes, go for the larger one to avoid the heel riding up.
How to avoid holes in the heels?
Choose socks reinforced at the heel and toes, and trim your nails regularly. A good fit also limits wear.
Do wool socks itch?
Merino wool, which is finer, itches much less than regular wool. A blend with cotton stays soft.
How to keep white socks white?
Wash them with whites at 40°C, with a bit of soda percarbonate. Wash them inside out to remove dirt.
