Christmas is just around the corner, and with it comes the time to give gifts. At Besocks, we want to help you find the perfect gift, so we have prepared the most complete guide to buying Christmas socks. 

Which Christmas socks to buy?

Christmas arrives and with it, the challenge of surprising your friends or partner with gifts. At this time of year, all kinds of details are usually given, but if there is one gift closely associated with this season, it is Christmas socks.

There are so many types of socks (high socks, white socks,socks with patterns) and so many designs, that many times it is difficult to choose the model that suits tastes and preferences, but today we are going to make it easy for you.

Next, we are going to talk about the types of socks available to give as gifts during this season. Both in terms of design and material. But before giving you the best tips, let's delve into the reason behind this tradition.

Why are socks given as gifts at Christmas?

The tradition of hanging stockings at Christmas comes from an ancient legend about Saint Nicholas, the saint who inspired Santa Claus. It is said that, one night, Saint Nicholas helped a poor man by throwing a bag of gold coins down his chimney.

The bag fell on a clothesline that one of the daughters had left hanging to dry, and the family found it the next day as a surprise gift. Since then, hanging socks has become a Christmas tradition, with the hope of receiving small presents. 

We want this Christmas to be the first year in which people don't put the gifts in the sock, but the sock itself is already the best gift. And that's why we're here.

How to match Christmas socks?

Beyond decorative reasons, Christmas socks also became very popular to wear, first in the United States and then in the rest of the world, and today they are one of the best-selling sock themes.

The line that separates wearing Christmas socks stylishly from wearing them childishly is very thin, so if you like this type of socks but have no idea how to match them, you have found the right article.

Today we are going to give you tips on how to choose socks based on your type of outfit: formal, casual, and informal. And we are going to recommend 3 designs from our collection of Christmas socks with Snoopy.

Christmas socks with formal outfits

For more formal looks with a suit, you only need to apply 3 rules. The first is that the sock should be the same color as the pants of your suit. This will help elongate your silhouette.

The socks you wear with the suit should be long enough to cover your entire leg when you sit down and the hem of the pants is raised higher.

The third rule for getting it right is to always choose more subtle prints and colors for this type of more formal outfit with a suit. The less you take risks with the print and especially the colors, the higher your chances of success.

For this type of outfit, we recommend you the BeSnoopy Christmas Santa. The blue, navy, and maroon colors make them very versatile with all kinds of suits. Get yours here.

Christmas socks with casual outfits

With casual or semi-formal outfits, there is more freedom when choosing. Dress codes have relaxed since the pandemic, and now office attire is much more flexible.

Here, brighter colors and some patterns or combinations with more details are accepted. This type of Christmas socks goes very well with casual garments such as chinos or denim jackets.

One of the Christmas Stocking designs that works best with these more casual codes is the BeSnoopy Christmas Snow. Its navy blue and green design matches with shoes and also with sneakers.

As we have mentioned, they work with all kinds of outfits, but for more casual garments, we recommend the Christmas Sock BeSnoopy Christmas Skiing with a more artistic touch thanks to its drawing of Snoopy on a sled.
