Socks for women and men: Burlington, Falke, Happy Socks

Socks Burlington: Preston, King, Manchester and Leeds

The Burlington socks lead the selection: Burlington Preston, King, Leeds and Edinburgh socks, and Burlington Manchester mid-calf socks. These are city socks, to be worn with chinos or suit trousers.

Patterned socks: Jimmy Lion, Happy Socks and Revolution

The Jimmy Lion socks, like Athletic Friends, the Happy Socks, from the Swedish brand, and the Revolution socks bring colour and patterns: the fancy sock can be seen between the bottom of a short pant and the shoe.

Sports socks: Nike Everyday, Colorful Standard Active and Falke

For sports, the Nike Everyday Essential socks, the Colorful Standard Organic Active socks, made of organic cotton, and the Falke socks, from the German brand, complete the choice: the sports sock reduces friction.

Warm winter socks: Jimmy Lion Premium Winter and Falke

The Jimmy Lion Premium Winter socks and the Falke Active Warm socks for kids are designed for ankle boots and wellies: the wool sock insulates even when slightly damp.

Women's socks: Pieces, Birkenstock and Burlington

On the women's side, the long Pieces Sebby glitter socks, the cotton socks Birkenstock, and the Burlington socks complete the women's sock, to be worn with loafers, ballerina flats or sandals in mid-season.

Socks, underwear and men's socks

The underwear also includes lingerie, boxers and briefs, and the men's socks make up the men's selection: a set of matching socks simplifies laundry sorting.

High socks, mid-calf or ankle socks

The ankle sock stops under the ankle and disappears into a low sneaker; the mid-calf sock covers the ankle, for ankle boots; the mid-calf rises under the knee and doesn't slip with suit trousers, like the mid-calf socks Burlington Manchester. The high sock is also chosen for winter boots. The shaft of a high sock prevents the boot from rubbing against the calf, and the ankle sock is kept for short trousers and trainers. Socks are stored in pairs, rolled up.

Funny socks, glitter socks and black socks

Funny socks, with fruit, animal or message patterns, make for easy gifts and brighten up a plain outfit. Glitter socks, thin and shiny, are worn with heels or loafers to show off the ankle. Black socks remain the staple of a drawer, suitable for both suits and trainers, and red socks add a pop of colour under grey trousers.

Cheap socks: special offers, clearance and Black Friday

Cheap socks can be found in the special offers and clearance, and the new arrivals show the season's patterns. At the end of November, Black Friday reduces prices across all brands. Fast delivery and best price guarantee.

Frequently asked questions about socks

What sock size should I choose?

Socks are sold in groups by size: take the one that includes your size. If you're between two groups, the larger one prevents the sock from pulling at the heel.

How can I avoid holes in my socks?

Regularly trim your nails, turn socks inside out for washing, and avoid the tumble dryer. A sock with a reinforced heel and toe lasts longer.

Cotton or wool socks?

Cotton is cool and can be worn all year round; wool keeps warmth and reduces odours, very useful in winter with boots. Blends of cotton and wool make a four-season city sock.

How to match socks?

With a suit, match the colour to the trousers to elongate the leg; with chinos or jeans, a patterned sock adds a touch of colour. The sock should be high enough not to show skin when seated.

How to wash wool socks?

In cold water, on a wool cycle, turned inside out, then dried flat. Wool felts and shrinks in the heat of the tumble dryer.
