Collection: Knee-High Socks

Origin and tradition of knee-length socks

Knee-length socks, or men's knee socks, have been a staple of men's stylish wardrobes for centuries. In the 19th century, they were worn under knee-length trousers and later on formal occasions, such as when wearing a suit or uniform. The knee-length length not only offered extra protection and warmth, but also ensured that the sock would never slip down - an important detail in formal dress codes. Today, knee-length socks are appreciated worldwide by men who like to keep their outfits neat and tidy. Wearing knee-length socks is even seen as a sign of refinement, as the lower leg remains covered at all times when sitting.

Materials and wearing comfort

The success of knee-length socks for men lies in the high-quality materials and wearing comfort. Combed cotton, fine merino wool and high-quality synthetic fibres ensure that the socks feel soft, do not pinch and at the same time retain their shape, even after frequent washing. Thanks to an extra long shaft, the socks stay in place without sagging, while a reinforced heel and toe ensure that they wear out less quickly.

Stylish combinations and modern trends

Knee-length socks are now available in countless colours, patterns and structures. Classic plain shades such as black, navy and grey go perfectly with a dark suit and formal shoes. For those who like to add a personal touch, there are knee-length socks with subtle checked patterns, striped designs or even a striking colour such as burgundy. More and more men are combining knee-length socks with both business and casual clothing, because they look stylish and are practical.
