How to Wear Boot Socks?



You've got stylish and comfortable boots - now you need to find the right pair of socks to keep your feet warm and dry without ruining your overall look. You also need to keep in mind where you're going to be wearing your boots. For example, if you're heading out on a hike, you'll need a different pair of socks to the ones you'll be wearing while on a day out in town. So how can you find the right pair of socks to style with your boots? Here's some advice.




WHAT SOCKS SHOULD BE WORN WITH BOOTS

To choose the right pair of socks for your boots, you need to keep in mind the style of your boots and where you're planning on wearing them. The general rule when choosing socks for your boots is that they should keep you comfortable while remaining stylish.


For example, if you're heading out on a day out shopping in town in a pair of ankle boots, then it's likely that you'll want to choose a pair of ankle socks to wear with them. These type of socks will keep you comfortable without showing above the top of your boots and ruining your look.


Alternatively, if you're wearing hiking boots or 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boots, then high-ankle crew or sports socks will help to keep your feet warm and dry throughout the day. It's always recommended that you wear some form of socks with your boots to keep your feet comfortable, but choosing the correct sock length will ensure that your boots look great too.




HOW TO STYLE SOCKS WITH BOOTS

Socks can be styled with boots in a variety of ways depending on your outfit or the occasion. Sometimes, you may want your socks to be hidden under your boots. Or, for preppy outfits, folding your long socks over the top of your boots will add the perfect finish.


To make sure you always have the perfect pair of matching socks, have a variety of styles at hand to try out and experiment with. Having long cable socks, ankle or crew socks and no-show socks all in your wardrobe means you always have the perfect pair for any occasion.




HOW TO WEAR SOCKS WITH ANKLE BOOTS

Choosing the right pair of socks to match with your ankle boots is highly dependent on the length of your footwear. Despite sharing the same name, there are many different lengths of ankle boots, from just below the ankle to just above.


If your boots fall just below the ankle and you're wearing them with a skirt or shorts, for example, then it's likely that you'll want to choose socks that are hidden, such as trainer socks or sock liners. If you're wearing these boots with trousers, then you could wear longer socks without them being seen. Alternatively, you could fold longer socks over the top of your ankle boots for a cool, preppy look.




HOW TO WEAR SOCKS WITH CHELSEA BOOTS

Chelsea boots tend to sit high up the ankle, so it's key that you choose the right type of socks to ensure that your boots are truly comfortable. Choosing certain types of socks means you can add a stylish finish to your Chelsea boots too.


If you're looking for comfort without leaving your socks on show, then a pair of ankle-high socks is an ideal choice. For an alternative look, choose socks that sit higher than your boots so you can fold them over the top of your footwear. This is a great way to add a different texture or color to your outfit.
