Bamboo Business Socks for the Office
Short answer: Bamboo business socks for a suit should stay up, be thin enough for the shoe and cover the calf, so skin does not show when you sit. Here is advice on length, thickness and colour, so your socks cope with a long office day.
What makes socks smart
Smart socks are not flashy. They have a plain or discreet surface, they stay up without slipping, and they are long enough to cover the calf. With a suit most men choose a dark colour that matches the shoes or the trousers, and that gives a calm overall look.
Length decides everything
When you sit down the trousers ride up, and a short sock shows skin. Choose a sock that reaches below the calf. Browse the all bamboo socks for men range and find a pair in a length you feel sure of when you sit in meetings, as bamboo business socks should.
Thickness for leather shoes
A thick sock can make a leather shoe tight and warm, while a sock that is too thin can rub at the heel. Try a medium thickness and check that the shoe still fits well. Bring your shoes along when you try socks, so you can feel the difference.
Colour and pattern
With a black or dark grey suit, black, navy or grey socks fit. With brown shoes, brown or navy can work. Small patterns look discreet, but stay with muted tones if you want a calm look. Match the sock to the trousers, not the shirt.
A sock that stays up
The elastic at the top should hold the sock up without leaving deep marks. Walk around in them for a few minutes and feel whether they slip. A sock that slides down in the afternoon is annoying on a long office day, and it is worth choosing well.
Worn all day
An office day is long, and your feet are shut in the shoes for many hours. Change your socks if you have another outing, and keep a pair in your bag. Check that the shoes air out at night, so they are ready the next morning.
Washing and upkeep for bamboo business socks
Wash the socks according to the care label and use a wash bag if you like, so they do not vanish in the machine. Avoid high heat, which can wear the elastic, and let them dry in the open air. Rotate between several pairs, and sort them next to underwear from the bamboo underpants for men.
Make it a habit
Choose your socks the evening before, so you do not have to think about it in the morning. A fixed drawer with a few pairs in the same colour makes the morning easier, and you avoid sitting in a meeting with odd socks. Also look at the bamboo socks for men in more colours.
