How to choose?
First of all, when choosing socks, we estimate their cost without thinking about other important selection criteria.
Composition
When buying, pay attention to the label, and what composition is indicated on it. It is best if the socks are completely made of cotton, they are considered the most hygienic.
If the composition contains a high content of synthetic impurities, excessive sweating and discomfort are guaranteed.

For everyday wear, you can choose any socks that you like, but for sports, it is better to select special anatomical models.
Quality
Pay attention to the quality of the seams and the presence of protruding threads. The seams should not be rough so as not to rub the leg while wearing the product.
How to wear?
Consider several options for combining low and very short socks for different occasions.
Business and office style
In combination with a strict trouser suit, you need to rely primarily on the color of socks. They should be the same color as the suit, but lighter than shoes - this is the principle of an office dress code.
Business style prints are completely out of place. Absolutely, like a combination of white socks and black shoes.
On every day
For daily bows there are no strict rules and boundaries, the main thing is to have a sense of proportion and remember that a short version of socks is the best choice for moccasins, sleeves, loafers and topsiders, as well as sports shoes. In the first and second cases, conventional models will be able to replace very short, more similar to the tracks. But the fashion world dictates its own rules and the combination of thick colored socks and sandals has become familiar.
With shorts
Shorts are considered to be the perfect pair for shorter socks. Although many stylists recommend avoiding this combination. But if you wear shoes on bare feet, it’s completely uncomfortable to offer several harmonious combinations with shorts and shoes.
White sports socks are best to wear with sports shoes or with high boots, reminiscent of a tourist.
Sneakers mean both the classic white version of the socks, and color, provided that they will be combined with shorts or T-shirt.
This rule also applies to the combination of dark shoes with white socks. The look will be harmonious if the shorts are white too.
