How To Wear Ankle Socks

Ankle socks are a versatile and convenient alternative to traditional socks. They can be worn with almost any type of shoe, from flats to heels, as they come in many different colours, patterns and styles. However, there are still some stylistic choices that work better than other ones. Curious to find out more? Read on because we're exploring how to wear ankle socks the right way!

Choose the Right Shoe

As you probably already know, ankle socks are designed to be worn low on the ankle. This makes ankle socks compatible with plenty of different shoes, including:

• Sneakers
• Tennis shoes
• Running shoes
• Ankle boots
• Heels

DON’T: Wear ankle socks with dress shoes. Instead, opt for appropriate dress socks or a pair of funky crew socks if you’re looking to add more personality to your look.

Add a Pop of Colour

When we think of ankle socks, the first image that probably comes to mind is a basic pair of white or black socks. We're here to tell you that bright colours are the way to go. While there are certainly occasions where it's best to go basic, there is no reason why you shouldn't add some life to your everyday socks. Allow your personality to shine with the help of fun and colourful ankle socks. Trust us, you won't regret it!

Pro tip: To achieve a truly trendy look, colour-coordinate your colourful ankle socks with your clothes or some specific elements in your look, such as shoelaces or accessories.

Match Your Ankle Socks to Your Outfit

Summer Outfits

When the warmer seasons finally bring us some sun, we know it's time to become more active, enjoy the BBQ season, go to the beach, go hiking and much more. With the sun, shorts, chinos and light shirts come out of the wardrobe. And this also means tennis shoes, sneakers, and running shoes will be a part of almost every physical activity for a good few months. To match your activities and lighter layers, ankle socks are exactly what you need. They will keep your feet dry, prevent blisters and let your leg breathe when the weather gets hot.

Professional Attire

There are some professional environments where a certain dress code needs to be followed. For instance, if you need to dress smart, ankle socks might not be the best option (well, in our world they are but not in everyone's). But if you work in a more casual environment and can even wear trainers to work, then ankle socks can be the ideal fit for you.

Casual Clothes

At the risk of stating the obvious, ankle socks are pretty much the perfect option for any casual clothing items, including jeans and tracksuits. That's unless you decide to go for sliders, though (sorry but ankle socks and sliders - that's a no from us unless you're wearing crew socks).
