Black Socks

There’s never a bad time for black socks. In fact, they're the best socks to wear with black shoes, be they sneakers or Oxfords. Whether you need plain black dress socks or just dig the vibe of a comfy, everyday sock that never goes out of style, we’ve got you covered.

Black is the ultimate, most versatile sock color. It’s a best-seller for us year after year, and unsurprisingly, we see these dark knits showing up everywhere (and we mean everywhere). If you think about it, a pair of black Merino Wool socks in Crew height can seamlessly pair with your dress shoes and slacks for a boardroom presentation, then quickly transition to partnering with your athletic sneakers for a post-office workout. 

If you're wondering when to wear black dress socks (or black wool socks in general), the better question to ask yourself is, when should I not be wearing them? It might not be in your best interest to wear black socks with your white shoes for formal settings (trust us). But other than that, black socks – ranging from Crew height to No Show height – are always a safe choice.

At Darn Tough, we knit a variety of dark socks, ranging from long black Over-the-Calf and Mid-Calf styles to No Show and ankle heights. And since our super comfortable black socks are knit with moisture-wicking Merino Wool, your feet will look good and stay dry. Plus, they don’t stink.

If you're wondering where to buy black socks, you can shop Darn Tough's entire collection online or visit our Store Finder to find a retailer near you. And if you ever thought black socks were bad for your feet, we hope this clears the air – that sweet, odorless, blister-free air.
