Luxury socks for men – the game-changing wardrobe update 

When you’re looking for a luxury wardrobe update, it’s best to start at the bottom. The difference between throwing on an old pair of socks and gliding on a pair of luxury Italian socks is the difference between a good day and a great day for a Butter & Egg man. 

But how to choose your perfect pair of luxury socks?

If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to choosing a new pair of men’s socks, we’ve got you covered. Shopping tips are our thing, so think about these key considerations before making your choice. 

How will you wear them?

Whether you’re on the hunt for formal socks to pair with a new suit or something luxury to style at the weekend, each outfit requires a different look. 

If you’re headed to the office, you might want to keep it simple. If you’re en route to an event, you might want to choose something statement, yet eloquent to complete your formal attire. 

So, when you’re making your sock decisions, consider how and where you’ll be styling these socks into your look. 

While we’re huge fans of prints and patterns and bold colour over here at the Butter & Egg Man, we know they’re not going to be a perfect choice every time. Think about what you have already and consider the gaps in your accessories wardrobe where your sock drawer needs an update. 

Consider colour

Sometimes it’s just easy to grab black, grey or white socks and go. But consider all the other colours out there that make luxury socks, in particular, that much more exciting. 

If you’re yet to make a sartorial statement with your socks, maybe now could be your moment?

From rich and luxurious purple to deep and expensive-looking forest green, a colour can be the perfect way to boost an outfit and add a touch of gentleman modernity to a simple tailored look. 

… And pattern

While we love a pop of colour when it comes to socks, we can’t forget about pattern. 

Patterns can be bold and outrageous or refined and subtle. Think about your own unique style and how a patterned sock might slip flawlessly into your everyday looks. From herringbone to polka dots, there is a plethora of patterns out there perfect for a stylish luxury sock choice. 

Think about fabric

Lastly, you want to consider fabric choice. When it comes to socks, it’s all about yarn and needle count. Choose socks with 200 needles or even up to 240 needles for the maximum in luxury softness. Mercerised cotton gives you the extra strength you need from your socks with a luscious sheen finish – which is why we use mercerised Egyptian cotton at Butter & Egg man! Beautifully soft, sophisticated and superior to your everyday options, luxury Egyptian cotton socks are the treat your feet didn’t realise they were missing. 

Shopping for luxury socks is all about elevating your style from the bottom up. A refined head to toe look is what the modern gentleman is all about. So, start with socks. And make them luxury.
