Let’s face it – we’re not relationship experts. Not everyone can be. But when it comes to finding the perfect pair of socks, we know a thing or two… or three.

Sure, gifting socks on Valentine’s Day might not exude the same zest or fiery romance as a bouquet or, say, a bucket of heart-shaped chocolates. But in our world (and if you’re reading this, we’re assuming in yours, too), nothing says, ‘I love you’ better than a fresh pair of Darn Toughs. And chances are if you find the right pair, you can still get lucky.

In this post, we’re doing Cupid’s work for him by helping you find the best matching gifts for couples – including your own. Guaranteed for Life and to pull at their heartstrings, our socks will forever and always be the perfect match.

How to Choose Matching Socks

So, you know what to get them. But how do you choose which pair to get them? Shopping for coordinated gifts for partners shouldn’t be hard, which is why we make selecting styles that suit both partners easy.

First, let’s consider a few things:

Color Coordination

Shared Activities

Depending on what you and your significant other do together (remember, this is a family brand), we’ve got matching socks that can help. Hiking, running, hunting, skiing, walking, working, lounging, or biking… we’ve got options that run the gamut for every and all activity.

Themes

Whichever socks you choose, our collection of matching accessories for couples is sure to help you find the perfect pair that will put a smile on their face (and yours). And if you still don’t believe us, below are a few more reasons why our socks are surely the best coordinated gifts for couples.

Coordinated Couples Are Just More Comfortable

As if you don’t already have enough reasons to treat your partner with a matching pair of Darn Tough socks… here are a few more: Comfort, Durability, and Fit. Add Practical and Versatile to that list, and that just about rounds out why our socks make the perfect Valentine’s gift for couples.

Knit using high-quality Merino Wool, our socks are naturally moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating (meaning they keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer). They’re also anti-odor, so even if your partner has stinky feet, you can both appreciate the fact that you won’t ever catch a whiff of their oh-so-loving scent.
