Mens Sock Sizes

Many of us have to deal with the unenviable task of wearing men’s socks to work, school, or just around the home. Socks not only come in handy when it comes to staying warm, but they can be used as a fashion statement as well. As the weather outside gets colder, we need to find creative ways to stay warm and our feet without turning heads in public. Socks come in a variety of styles and colors and can help you pull off an outfit with confidence. Knowing the right size is crucial so here are some tips to help you buy the right mens sock sizes for your specific footwear and clothing style.

Men’s Sock Sizes – There are three main sizes when it comes to mens sock sizes, the size small, the size medium, and the size large. Men’s footwear tend to run a lot larger than women’s and this is especially true for athletic men. Men’s shoes tend to be large, like footballs or basketballs. To figure out your exact size, measure both your foot and the width of your ankle with a tape measure and use the size as small as the number of stitches between your toes and the end of the shoe and the size medium as the number of stitches between your toes and the end of the shoe and the size large is the number of stitches between your toes and the end of the shoe. For ladies, socks usually come up to size small, but if you are buying a men’s dress sock, they usually are sized by shoe size according to the style of the shoe and the width of the foot.

Men’s Sock Fashion – Most common mens dress socks are either solid colors or patterned. Solid colors tend to be less formal than patterned socks and give you the ability to mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe. Mens dress socks also come in many different styles and colors as well as textures and materials. Blue diamond patterned socks are one of the most common sock colors and look great with everything from denim to formal pants. If you know your body type and are still unsure, go to a department store that specializes in men’s dress socks and try on different styles and colors and see what fits you best!
