Dear Souk,
Wanted: Fun dress socks to cut through the gloom of monochromatic corporate dressing.

Dear I’d-like-more-colour-in-my-life Subscriber
We’ve got you covered! Here are five fun dress socks that help add colour and personality to corporate dressing:
*****
Imagine walking around with Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting quietly grinning up at you, this is those Mona Lisa Socks. With her signature smile right over your ankles, these socks are a witty mash-up of Renaissance art and cheeky comfort. Soft cotton (with a dash of stretch) keeps them wearable while the print puts the ‘wow’ in your step. Talk about your everyday classics.

Men’s Blue Argyle Striped Socks:
This GANT set is for anyone who’s ready to upgrade from plain black socks. The blue is bold, and whether you go for stripes, argyle, or solid, there’s no hiding in these. They’re fun without being silly, and still polished enough for work or dinner out. Made from a soft cotton blend that holds up through the day (and laundry), they add just the right amount of flair below the ankle.

These socks do more than brighten up your feet. Made from sustainable cotton, these unisex socks come in a set of four distinct, nature-themed designs that celebrate wildlife and promote awareness about conservation efforts. The purchase supports WWF's mission, with 10% of net sales donated from 2022 to 2024.

Men’s Colourful Socks
We love that these solid coloured socks come with a deodorizing feature that neutralizes odors, and in a variety of colour options. We picked this burnt orange because it works with neutrals like beige, navy, and olive, but also brings unexpected charm when peeking out from under dark denim or grey trousers.

Plaid Box of 3 Dos Socks
Socks don’t always have to be an afterthought—think of them as that small upgrade you reach for when your outfit feels a little too serious and needs a nudge of fun. This set comes with three plaid pairs (in maroon, brown, and purple) that are easy to pair and add pattern without clashing. They’re interesting enough to get noticed when you cross your legs, but classic enough for everyday use. The fabric feels soft on the skin, offers full coverage, and holds up well through repeat wears and washes.
