Black Bamboo Socks – The Workhorse of Your Basic Wardrobe

Short answer: Black bamboo socks are the most flexible sock in your wardrobe. They go with both smart shoes and sneakers, they hide wear and stains better than light colours, and the bamboo viscose keeps your feet dry and odour free all day.

Why black is the safe basic colour

A black sock goes with almost everything: suits, jeans and joggers. If you buy several identical pairs, you even avoid having to pair up socks after the wash. See the black styles among bamboo socks for men and bamboo socks for women.

Do black bamboo socks keep their colour?

Yes, bamboo viscose holds its colour well when you wash at 30-40 degrees and turn the socks inside out. Avoid bleach and hang them up to dry rather than giving them a hard tumble. Get all the details in our washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Black for sneakers and leisure

For sneakers, black tennis socks are a discreet choice that does not show dirt. Find them under bamboo tennis socks for men and bamboo tennis socks for women.

Do black bamboo socks go with a suit?
