More specialised styles are ideal for running and other sports. Ankle Size: Around 10cm. Just above trainer line. Description: These socks will just poke out above the trainer line and are often referred to as anklet socks.

Few inches above ankle. Description: Also called mini-crew, these are midway between ankle socks and standard ones and will cover your ankle. When to wear: Good for use under ankle boots, or for adding a bit of colour just above the trainer line. Also useful if your trainers rub your ankles. Standard Description: The everyday sock, also called crew fit. When to wear: Pretty much every outfit. You can be brave and combine them with shorts or skirts making the sock a feature, or just stick them on with jeans when you're heading out to the shops.Trouser Sock Size: Between 22-25cm. Bit longer than the standard. Description: Sometimes called the three-quarter sock as they should go that far up the calf. When to wear: These are often used in the office under suits, so that the risk of skin being shown when sat down is minimised. This size is also used in sportswear, especially skiing socks that need to rise above ski boots. |
