Don’t Forget the Socks: Types of Hosiery to Wear with Low-Cut Shoes

More often than not, most low-cut shoes are worn without socks. However, between the abrasions that can develop on your feet and the odor that can accumulate in the shoe, it’s actually much better to wear socks with your low-top footwear.

Depending on the style of shoe, low-cut shoes require certain types of hosiery to be worn with them:

Driving Shoes + No-Show Socks

Driving shoes are a sleek type of footwear and a standard sock can easily be seen and would not look appealing when paired with this open shoe. That’s why a no-show sock is your most practical and fashion-forward option. Like a driving shoe, it only covers the edges of your foot and your toes, leaving the top of your foot exposed. With this sock style, you’ll have protection for your feet that won’t be seen.

Slip-On Sneakers + Ankle Socks

Slip-on sneakers cover a lot more of your foot, so you can get away with a lot more when it comes to your sock choice. However, seeing as it is a low-cut shoe, the sock that would look most stylish with these shoes are ankle socks. Whether it is a thick cotton based sock or one designed with thinner material, you’ll strut with ease and confidence with these socks.

Lace-Up Shoes + Think Knit Socks

While lace-up shoes are low in style, the same rules don’t always apply when it comes to the socks that should be worn with them. While an ankle sock can be worn with this style, knee-high socks are perfect for this shoe. Why? Low-cut lace-ups are often worn with more semi-formal pieces, so a tall, thin-knit sock can easily be hidden under suit pants or a pleated bottom. In fact, they look exceptionally stylish when they’re briefly seen when you sit down or cross your legs.

Never forget your socks when you wear your low-cut shoes. And when you do pick them out, stick with these guidelines to ensure that you stay stylish.

Always remember to wear socks with your low-cut shoes.
