We Love Socks

The term 'socks' is extremely generic. There are endless different types for every occasion imaginable. From bright pink casual socks to high density cotton work socks there are many different types to chose. There are also many places on the web to find socks - I will also give you a few of my top suggestions.

So then, what types are there?

• Ankle Socks
• Crew Socks
• High density cotton work socks
• Black formal socks
• Long socks (often called stockings) used by footballers and hikers

Crew socks are probably the most common type of socks - you may even be wearing them right now! These generally sell for under £1 a sock, and can be found in most department stores. These versions are usually black or white - you will struggle to find any bright coloured crew socks as they are generally made on a budget. However, they are still good quality as the cotton is much thicker than light ankle socks. Sport stores may also sell these with a brand (Nike, Adidas, Umbro etc) however these are usually just generic socks with a brand on! Therefore you are paying more for a tiny logo at the top of your socks! The good thing about crew socks is that many stores often have excess stock meaning you can easily get some heavily discounted in a sale. If this fails you can also try online sellers such as Amazon (the link contains search matches for 'Crew Socks'). You can always just use Google too.

In my next post I will discuss ankle socks and where you can find them. As always, leave a comment if you have any questions or critical feedback!
