Many guys treat socks like throwaway parts of their outfits. Just as long as it’s color-coordinated with the rest of your garb and there are no visible holes, it’s fine. If you’re a guy who pays attention to details, though, there’s a chance you put just a little more thought on the kind of socks you wear. Which, of course, starts with the kind of socks you buy. And if you want to add some dressier socks to your wardrobe, you might want to take a look at the Pima Cotton Houndstooth from American Trench.
Described as a “luxurious cotton sock,” it’s the kind of stylish garment you put on your feet when going out in equally luxurious $500 dress shoes. Sure, people won’t really get to see it as much as your favorite pair of Ferragamos, but when every man sits down and their pant hems go up, you just might still be the most stylish guy in the room. Hey, that counts for something, right?
The Pima Cotton Houndstooth is knitted from Italian-spun mercerized pima cotton that feels “silky smooth” when worn, so your feet should have a pleasant time during wear. It comes with a very pleasant-looking houndstooth pattern, with a length that should cover you up around mid-calf. While designed as a dress sock, it’s actually thicker than the paper-thin dress socks that’s the norm with European brands, giving it the ability to provide your feet with better support and warmth, all while looking just as impeccable.
Available in five colors, the American Trench Prima Cotton Houndstooth Socks are priced at $45 for a two-pack.
