Green, Blue and Coloured Bamboo Socks – Colour in Your Wardrobe

Short answer: Coloured bamboo socks are the easiest way to give an otherwise classic outfit some personality. Green, blue and patterned socks work both as a discreet detail under your trousers and as a deliberate eye-catcher, and in bamboo viscose you get the colours without compromising on comfort.

Coloured Socks Are the Small Detail With a Big Effect

A green or blue sock in an otherwise neutral outfit shows confidence without shouting. With a suit, many people pick a sock that picks up the colours in the outfit, while an everyday look can carry fresher colours and patterns. See the range of bamboo socks for men and bamboo socks for women.

How to Match the Colours

The classic rule says the sock matches the trousers, not the shoes. The modern approach is freer: let the sock play off a jumper, a shirt or another detail. Blue tones are the easiest to style, while green socks give you more of an edge. Brands such as JBS of Denmark and Egtved offer both calm and fresh colours.

Colours That Last

Bamboo viscose has a smooth fibre that gives deep, beautiful colours, and with a wash at 30 to 40 degrees inside out the colours last a long time. Read more care advice in our washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear green socks with a suit?

Yes, if the colour plays well with the rest of the outfit. A deep green tone works nicely as a discreet detail.

Should socks match your shoes or your trousers?

Classically the trousers, but today it is perfectly accepted to let the sock match another detail or stand as a contrast.

Do coloured bamboo socks fade in the wash?

Not noticeably at 30 to 40 degrees. Wash them inside out and avoid the tumble dryer, and the colours last best.
