Types of Striped Socks
There is a huge variety of striped socks, ranging from the big and bold to the more subtle. Most striped socks are horizontal, which gives a contemporary look. Some socks use vertical stripes, creating a slightly more classical look and elongated lines for sartorial elegance. The stripes vary in thickness from sock to sock, from the very thin to the very bold. Many striped socks use a classic coloured base colour (such as black or navy) and then add a splash of coloured stripes, whilst others are truly funky and colourful.
