Socks with pattern
About this collection
Socks with pattern
Plain socks are fine, but sometimes you want just a little more. Our patterned socks give your outfit an accent without being loud. Calm from a distance, up close a detail that stands out. Exactly the kind of detail Italians are so good at.
Stripes, motifs and two tones
Strisce d'Arte has fine stripes and is made of Egyptian cotton. Intrecci means 'interwoven' and has a subtle pattern, in cotton and in merino wool. Shadow is a merino sock with a fine rib and a second, subtle tone. You'll also find a few Basic 2-packs with stripes here.
Made in Italy
All patterned socks are made in Italy. The toe is linked by hand, so you don't feel a seam, and toe and heel are reinforced with nylon. All yarns are dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label. This means no harmful chemicals are used in the dyeing process. Better for the environment, and kinder to your skin.
Frequently asked questions
Can you wear patterned socks for business?
Absolutely. The stripes and patterns are fine and subtle, so they look well-groomed under a suit. At the weekend they look just as good with chinos or jeans.
Which sizes are available?
The patterned socks come in 40-43 and 44-47.
What are they made of?
Most are made of Egyptian cotton. Intrecci and Shadow are also available in merino wool, for colder days.
What is the difference between merino wool and ordinary wool?
Merino wool comes from the merino sheep and has a much finer fibre than ordinary sheep's wool. That is why it feels soft and doesn't itch, not even directly on your skin. Merino wool doesn't absorb moisture, it wicks it away. Cotton, on the other hand, does absorb moisture. Merino wool is also self-cleaning, so it is less prone to odour. And it keeps you warm in winter and fresh in summer. Ordinary wool is coarser, feels rougher and is often warmer and heavier.
How do you best wash patterned socks?
Wash them inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees and let them dry on a rack. Preferably don't put your socks in the dryer. For merino socks, use a wool programme.
