• Men’s Dress Socks – Complete the Dressed Look
  For many men, co-ordinating their dress pants, shoes and their socks seem to present an insurmountable challenge. The simple rule of thumb is that the men’s dress socks should always appear to the observer as an extension of the pants, in both colour and fabric style. Men should never wear such socks with sandals or shorts, anymore than he should wear sports socks when he is wearing business type attire. Plain black or coloured socks are the easiest to work with, and although socks with small dots are also acceptable, argyle and other bold styles are not considered appropriate.

• Thorlo Socks - Love Your Feet
  The Thorlo Socks web site is a co sponsor of the Salvation Army. Consumers must login and open an account to enter their site, however the Thorlo site provides a great short lecture about how you should love your feet and wear the right kind of socks for the activity that you are going to be doing. For example socks you might wear for going to the office would not be warn skiing or playing tennis. Not only is fashion an issue, skiing and tennis provide much more wear and tear on your socks as well as your feet. The socks you wear to the office would not provide the necessary level of support or remove the moisture that would build up if you were to go skiing or play tennis.

• Cotton Socks – Comfy And Soft
  Really good cotton socks are less than a necessity and are more like a luxury as they feel very soft and skin-friendly. Cotton is renowned for its powers of absorption, and this material will keep mildly sweaty feet dry and comfortable during most simple exercise, like taking a walk around the block. They can provide warmth, and many people find they enjoy wearing these socks around the house without the need for slippers. For more strenuous exercising, socks that will wick away sweat are recommended and these will have only small percentages of cotton in their blended fabric.

• Wool Socks – Great Insulation
  If your feet get cold in the winter and maybe get hot in the summer, you should consider the advantages of wool, one of nature’s best insulators. The wool socks that are available today are made from the hairs of very specially chosen sheep breeds. The Australian Merino wool with its fine fibres measuring in the 20-micron range, is especially silk-like. Although cotton would still be a very commonly worn sock material, its biggest disadvantage is that once wet from foot sweat or rain puddles, it will retain that moisture for hours. A diabetic should never wear a sock that might retain too much moisture; the wool sock is a much better alternative.

• Pink Socks –Socks for Girls
  Pink is the one colour that in our North American culture has been purely assigned to girls. Indeed pink socks are never worn by men, even though they can often be seen in other pastel colours. Men may be wearing pink clothing in Europe, but few men will wear it in the US or in Canada. And then one day, billionaire Donald Trump wore a pink tie on his TV hit show The Apprentice. Then Andre Benjamin of OutKast wore a pink-and-white checked shirt in the "50 Most Beautiful" issue of People magazine. Has pink become the new blue for men?
