Best socks for fall

After wearing sandals and flip flops all summer, it is hard to get back to wearing socks on your feet. It is getting cooler colder and nothing makes your whole body feel colder than having cold feet. That means that you have to find socks that are both warm and stylish. This means finding the best socks for fall.

In addition, they have to fit comfortable inside of your shoes or boots. It is always a wise idea to wear the thickness of sock that you plan to wear every day when you are going to purchase your boots or shoes. If you like a thick sock you may need to buy a larger size or a wider width.

White socks

The white sock is a year-round staple to wear in an athletic shoe. It can be ankle height or it can be below the shoe level. Some are much thicker than others but they are generally used to keep your feet comfortable and sweat free when you are exercising.

Warm socks

When you are wearing a sturdy hiking type boot or a warm tie shoe it is often appropriate to wear a thicker sock. These come in wool, cashmere, cotton and in blends. They come in tweed, argyle or in a wide variety of pretty colors. They protect your feet both from the cold and from the rubbing of the shoe. These type of socks are also great in a clog or a winter mule. They help to make the clogs or mules fit better. I love my slip on Berkenstock opeen back shoes and these chunky socks are the best.

Knee high socks

Knee high socks are often thought of in terms of being worn with a uniform such as the "Catholic school girl" look with a kilt type plaid skirt and a knee sock. They also work with a longer split skirt or winter shorts or knickers. These also come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials. Knickers look especially good with a chunky knee high sock.

Thigh high socks

If you are young and have great legs, thigh high socks are a very cute look with shorts or a short skirt. These can be most any color but are usually not bulky or thick. Thigh high socks can also be layered over the top of tights or tight jeans.

Trouser socks

If you are a wearing a dressy shoe with your trousers and don’t want to go bare foot, wear pantyhose or knee high nylons, trouser socks are the way to go. They are usually very thin knitted material and should be worn in a coordinating color so that they are invisible. These are not made to stand out and make a statement.

I have to admit that I am a gold toe girl, I find that they keep their shape, wear well and are reasonably affordable especially with a 30 percent off coupon at Kohls. 

At the end of the day, there are many types of socks that may be the best socks for fall. The best socks are the ones that make you comfortable while you are wearing your shoes or boots and that keep your feet happy as well.
