# Men's white socks, a color that has become trendy

Men's white socks are too often criticized when worn with formal or dressy outfits because they are associated with sports socks. Yet, this is not always the case! Indeed, men's white socks add character to an outfit and are a symbol of a confident chic style.

White is a very symbolic color and is often seen as positive; it is generally associated with purity and simplicity. Do you now understand better why we are convinced that men's white socks are perfectly acceptable as a sign of elegance in clothing?

The most famous pair remains the one worn by the Pope! It is the world-renowned Roman tailor, Gammarelli, who knitted these sumptuous white socks in Scottish thread, including the pairs worn by the Pope himself. This is also why Gammarelli is known as the "tailor of the Popes."

Note: And if you are a fan of historical socks, also take a look at this collector’s item now displayed in our Parisian boutique! The genuine white silk stockings worn by Emperor Napoleon, incredibly fine and with exceptional finishes. History enthusiasts can purchase a replica of these stockings thanks to the creation of an exclusive special set reproducing the original model duplicated in 6 pairs of Scottish thread colors, including one in white silk.

You will surely also remember the Ivy League trend of the 1960s-1970s, when it was common to see American students proudly wearing their loafers with men's white socks.

# Wearing men's white socks with elegance

Men's white socks are particularly chic when paired with light-colored summer outfits. The more they are combined with contrasting colors, the more they add a touch of whimsy and elegance to your looks.

To dare to wear high men's white socks, we have selected the best models for you in exceptional materials:

Men's off-white linen socks: these off-white colored socks are ideal to wear in summer thanks to their linen composition. Linen is a noble material that is particularly light and airy, allowing the skin to breathe. Thus, men's white linen socks let your feet breathe while absorbing moisture in case of sweating to keep them cool and dry all day long. This pair will elegantly match pants made of the same material or light chinos. Wear them with jeans or darker colors if you want to draw attention to this bold but chic detail!

Men's white socks in Scottish thread:

The Gammarelli model: as mentioned earlier, these socks are by far the most iconic. They are knitted by the Roman tailor Gammarelli, specialist in ecclesiastical garments who supplies, among others, the famous socks of the Vatican clergy and thus the Pope, whose cassock color is white.
Mazarin's off-white socks: a little less bright than pure white socks, these off-white high socks lean slightly towards a light beige. Their very soft, almost neutral shade will easily blend with your light outfits.

Men's white patterned socks: and if you like patterns, here is a pair of Bresciani mid-calf socks in yellow Scottish thread with white stripes absolutely sumptuous! This pair of warm-colored socks will be perfect to wear with your summer outfits. Wear them with beige pants as well as with darker outfits to bring back a bit of warmth.

#Caring for your men's white socks

The hardest part with men's white socks is keeping their bright color through multiple washes!

Here are our care tips to keep them intact:

First, place them in a laundry bag to limit friction with the machine drum and other clothes;
Wash your men's white socks at 30°C with clothes of the same color to avoid color bleeding;
Air dry them flat to maintain their original shape and avoid deformation.
