Men's Black Dress Socks

Men's black dress socks, knit in Italy from 100% Egyptian Mako cotton lisle: plain black in mid-calf and over-the-calf lengths, and black worked into chevron and houndstooth.

Which black dress sock

The black mid-calf is the everyday pair, below the trouser break under a grey, navy, or charcoal suit. The black over-the-calf is the length for black tie, weddings, and formal business, and it stays up through a full day. The tuxedo socks gather it with the navy and charcoal pairs for evening dress.

Black with a pattern

Black runs through the grey and black chevron, the blue and black chevron, and the blue and black houndstooth, all over the calf. Matched to the dominant colour of the trouser, each reads as a plain dark sock from a distance.

Black socks with brown shoes

Black socks sit most easily with black shoes. With brown shoes they work under dark trousers, where the sock reads as part of the trouser. The dress sock guide covers the rest, and the full range of men's dress socks has every colour in both lengths.
