Men's Brown Dress Socks

Men's brown dress socks in dark brown, tobacco, and light brown, knit in Italy from 100% Egyptian Mako cotton lisle in mid-calf and over-the-calf lengths, with a mélange brown linen pair for summer.

Which brown to choose

Dark brown is the most useful brown in the drawer, a rich brown that settles in with most dark trousers and ties a brown shoe to the rest of the outfit. Tobacco is a warm mid-brown that sits under grey, navy, or olive suiting. Light brown is the lightest of the three, for khaki and tan as well as grey, navy, and olive.

Brown socks with brown shoes

With brown, tan, khaki, or olive trousers, a brown sock carries the shoe's colour up into the trouser. With navy or grey trousers, a sock matched to the trouser is the safer choice, and tobacco is the brown that still sits well there. The sock pairing guide takes trouser, shoe, and sock together.

Lengths and materials

Dark brown and tobacco come in mid-calf, which sits below the trouser break, and over-the-calf, which stays up through a full day. Light brown is over the calf only. The mélange brown linen socks are knit at 176 needles for high summer. See the full range of men's dress socks, or every pair in cotton dress socks.
