 Avoid ankle socks with high sneakers

This second tip seems very obvious, but sometimes common sense is the least common of senses. We see many people wearing ankle socks with high-top sneakers, and that is a mistake.

First of all, for practical reasons. It's the best if we want to avoid the typical chafing. Also for hygiene, because there is a part of your leg that is not protected by the sock and summer sweat can wreak havoc.

If you prefer ankle socks, pair them with lower-profile sneakers, like Vans Old Skool or Veja, and leave the white socks, seamless socks, and higher skate socks for boot-style sneaker silhouettes.

Now you know that ankle socks are worn with high-profile sneakers and long socks, like white socks or seamless socks, are worn with boot-type sneakers. Take a look at our selection at this link.

 Should the sock match the pants?

The belief that socks should match the pants is a very widespread dogma, and if we are talking about conventional shoes, it is a rule you have to follow. But when it comes to sneakers, there are no rules.

You can combine any colors you want; it's a matter of taste. Nowadays, big myths like white socks with black shoes have been debunked, now being one of the strongest trends.

If we talk about aesthetic aspects, it is better for the sock to match the pants to elongate the leg and make our figure longer and slimmer. This is a good tip for shorter people.

Now, after debunking a few myths, we already know the 3 main rules you should (or shouldn't) follow when matching your socks with sneakers, and we want to continue inspiring you with some combinations.

How to Match Socks with Veja Sneakers

The first sneakers that are usually the subject of the most epic matchings with socks are the Veja, and that is precisely because of their ease of combining in a thousand ways with different types of garments and accessories.

Being a simple and timeless sneaker design, it goes with almost everything, but we recommend wearing them with the Casual line or the Basic line to give a different touch to your more basic outfits.

How to Match Socks with Nike Sneakers

To know how to wear socks with Nike sneakers, it is first important to know the height of the silhouette. If you like low-cut silhouettes like the Air Force 1, we recommend invisible or ankle socks as a more conservative option.

If you wear taller Nike silhouettes like the Blazer or the Air Jordan 1 Mid, surely one of our seamless socks from the Essentials collection fits perfectly with the casual and summery look you have in mind.

How to Wear Socks with Vans Sneakers

Other sneakers often worn with socks are Vans in general and especially Vans Old Skool. They are another versatile option like Veja, working with almost everything due to their simple and timeless design.

Even so, if you want to combine them on another level, we recommend you take a look at the Street Collection, where you can find the iconic white high skate socks with double stripes. Also, with some of your favorite licenses.

How to Match the New Balance 530 with Socks

We continue with more combinations. Another one of the sneakers that is taking off is the Salomon XT6. We have experienced a boom in fashion with mountain clothing and sneakers. This fashion trend is called Gorpcore and is very popular nowadays.

For this type of mountain sneakers, we recommend avoiding prints and opting for classic options. The socks that best suit this type of sneakers are from the Street collection. Check them out at this link.

How to Match Socks with Retro adidas Sneakers

Socks have become the kings of office looks. Casual sneakers like Hoff Sneakers are a must for two reasons: first, because they are comfortable, and second, because design-wise they adapt to the dress code.
