- This video is all about different types of socks and sock lengths, including when to wear each type and recommended brands. I see so many guys wearing the wrong socks with their shoes and pants, so I want to clear things up and for all.
I know, I know...
No one:
Brock: Here's everything you need to know about socks...
But I do think it's an important aspect of style, as it impacts how look and feel throughout the day. So let's talk about socks! Crew socks. Over the calf. No show socks. Ankle length socks. Cotton, wool, synthetic, silk. Light cushion, heavy cushion, no cushion…
There are many, many different types of socks to choose from. How do you know which socks to buy? How can be sure that you're wearing the right socks with different types of shoes and pants? What's the best sock length for you?
These are the kind of questions that make me to lose sleep at night, and then write the most comprehensive, in-depth video on the Internet about sock types. If you also have questions about socks, you're in the right place.
This guide will teach you how to choose the perfect socks for any situation. Whether you're a jet setting business bro or a broke college student with a budding interest in the goth ninja aesthetic (#streetwear), I've got you covered.

bruh literally EVERY person at my school has socks n shoes like the thumbnail...
The combination was good though, i wear it like that all the time
You can't hate on it it never gets old
Same at mine but with af1s
@@Gabriel-oi5wx do you skate?
I LOVE when people wear it like that lol
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time he says the word "sock"
Drinking Game: deliberately give yourself alcohol poisoning
I died twice
Your lungs are gonna be happy asf 😂
With water 😁
Stay hydrated
More like 'sahk'. Such a Midwestern "acsint".
Crew socks are nice, its always up to what you like.
To a degree, but "white socks with dress shoes" is SO Archie Bunker...
@@shmuli9 true, I mainly wear white crew socks, for my casual, everyday, jeans and shirt look.
But, I had to get some black dress socks , for formal occasions.
@@shmuli9 loafers wit the white socks tho😂
@@yapyap3 what is a crew sock 💀
@@shmuli9 Real men only wear long white socks, we don’t compromise for anything. White socks look amazing with dark/dress shoes and pants anyway.
Love how there’s social standards to socks now 😭🙃
Nobody cares in the real world; don’t worry
@@noochy9091 I always think they do😭
and I thought of it now, I never noticed anyone else's socks, ever.
Its more like looking your best.
It’s not a social standard, it’s just a recommendation on what fits better to certain shoes, sneakers and outfits, which helps some of us that don’t know much about fashion.
This guy is a weirdo nobody cares
Thankfully, you did not recommend a style of socks to be worn with Birkenstocks.
drlatham22 That thought crossed my mind too. I can’t decide if white or black crew socks look best with my Teva’s
I need this
Looks like he wears em ...🤣
Nobody should wear Birkenstocks at all, for any reason.
@@2KCamaroZ28SS Agree.
"A fad that's gonna die out". It's been a fad for 40 years and it's still going strong. 🤣
Its only getting stronger.
It does make you wonder what sort of feminine soy boy isn’t aware that high white socks are standard men’s fashion, and have been for literal decades. The colored socks and ankle/no-show sock fad was created by women and homosexuals in the fashion industry, no real man would ever own a single pair.
This man is obsessed with socks...i love it 😂
Crew socks have been trendy especially with shorts and sneakers since I was in highschool in 2011 a decade ago. I don't think it's going anywhere, if you know how to pair them well, they can create a really nice silhouette. I've seen alot of trends rise and fall and I dont think this one is going away anytime soon. Anyways good video, really helpful:)
Plus men exclusively wore knee-high or close to it white socks pulled up for literal decades up until the early 2000s, when hideous ankle and no-show socks came out of nowhere. Right around 2011, as you mentioned, swag fashion came about and killed those little abominations and made guys socks big again.
During my school time in the early 2000s crew socks were out of fashion and especially if you pulled them up completelly people would make fun about your tacky and hideous style.
It's fun how trends can change completelly.
The combination in the thumbnail looks good. I wear like that all the time.
yea it’s a good choice haha
True
Same
Same here lol
No it doesnt
Funny because the "Dont do this" thumbnail look is insanely popular in the punk/hardcore scene with vans and the guys who do that get so much tail in the scene.
@TwT somewhat. this look is really popular with the new gen of frat guys too. not with vans though.
You Can literally look up people wearing the same style from 1989 till today. Everybody from Snoop Dogg,mark Wahlberg, to blink 182 has been pictured wearing the crew sock I really don't see it going out of style anytime soon as silly as it may seem to some.
Just walk into a high school and thats mostly what you will see it never gets old
This is so weird I was just thinking how I need new socks and I don’t know where to start. This is way more information than I wil probably use but I prefer a video I can come back to for other occasions and to perfect what I’m looking for. I live in California so my needs may be simpler than most. I don’t get too dressy either. Thanks love the video. It will help me and now I will be able to shop better.
I wear Darn Tough socks every day.
They have a lifetime warranty, so if they ever wear out, they will send you a new pair.
So does WigWam.
I just watched a 13 minute video on socks. #themoreyouknow
You can't hate the thumbnail its always worn and never gets old
I am all about crew socks. Love that the old school striped socks are back and I have seen guys sporting crew socks with sneakers and shorts for a few years now. Nike and Adidas are especially showing longevity. I personally am into the Bombas classic white crews and the Stance skater socks. Ankle socks just don't work for me. I have tried the very best brands and they just like to slide down. I respect your video though and appreciate shedding some light on socks.
I’m literally late to where I’m going trying to figure out if I can wear quarter crew socks with my high top vans.....
NO WAY SAME I NEED SOMEOEN TO TELL ME WHAT TO WEAR WITH HI VANS AHHHAHHCHHSBA
Bruh just crew of quarter socks. Anything lower would make your shoe scrap against your skin.
Your quality of informative content is fantastic
Kinda surprised that my guy is wearing a branded cap, especially polo bear! Dude typically despises branding.
The fad right now is long socks and the same damn haircut every one has, shortened to shaved sides and curly top patch lol
Every time I see those hair cuts I think of side show Bob lol. Some of those haircuts look decent but people really leave their hair long on top but with a skin fade and it looks silly.
@@Mac10Demarco Baldness is timeless.
I’ve gone back to the 90’s and tried to change it up with a middle part style lmao
@@WelshyAutomotive Bro some of the fools who do that with straight long hair but with the shaved sides straight up look like Toad from Super Mario lol.
@@Mac10Demarco ahaha who cares, let them do them.
Wow, pretty refreshing video!! Great job Brock, great content!
Thank you, sir!
Can't sleep at night lmao
Ok
Currently watching it a 4h00
Lmfao same yo
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh yahhhhhhh daddy
@@JOJOSAVAGE4 manigga u good?
thank you for upload about the socks... hahaha i can't choose long crew socks or no show socks for my vans...
I'd go with no show, hands down!
@@BrockMcGoff he said he's wearing vans tho... which means he most likely skates and it's not fun to skate in non crew socks, trust me! plus there anothr piece of clothing to match with which is helpful for most fits
@@finessedkid9476 like 10% of vans users are actually skating.
@@casperker then why are you buying a skate shoe lmfao, poser clowns smh
James they’re comfy and they make really cute shoes. stop gatekeeping.
Very common misconception about wool socks is that they are always a winter sock. Wool socks are actually fantastic for summer time too because wool has the unique properties of being very breathable even in hot conditions, and also it wicks moisture as well. Another property of wool no one talks about which is very important is that unlike cotton, wool continues to insulate and lock in heat even when it's wet. This can be important in the winter. If you've ever shoveled your driveway wearing cotton socks in the winter, once your feet get sweaty, you know how cold they feel. They feel like ice buckets. That's because cotton stops insulating once it's wet, making cotton a HORRIBLE material for cold weather. Wool will continue to keep you warm even if it gets wet. If you live somewhere cold, like I do, here in Wisconsin, it really does make sense to have a handful of pairs of genuine wool socks. And wool does not have to be scratchy. That's a misconception. Many socks today are manufactured using MERINO wool which is much smoother and more comfortable than standard wool socks. The important thing is though, make sure you buy wool socks that are actually wool. Many socks that are labeled or marketed as wool socks actually contain 20% wool or some very small amount of wool and the rest is primarily cotton. This is NOT going to work like a wool sock because it's not, it's basically a cotton sock. Make sure you get socks that are at least 80% wool if you're looking for real, quality wool socks to keep you warm in the winter. Also, wool socks will cost more, but they tend to last much longer than regular cotton socks. They are wrinkle resistant and moisture wicking and not as absorptive as cotton either. All of these qualities cause the wool to hold up much better over time than cotton socks which fall apart relatively quickly. I have a few pairs of wool socks that I've been wearing for nearly 10 years and they're in pretty much just as good shape as when I first bought them. I hope this information helps somebody
Just ordered me a pair of wool socks. I haven’t had much luck with cotton it gets super gross during the summer.
@@adrianvargas2261 I hope you enjoy the wool socks!
wonderful comment, thank you!
wow tnx, as helpful if not more than the video.
@@adrianvargas2261 how are they working out? :D
I hate when people wear Nike socks with regular shoes 😕
You remind me of scott lang from ant-man
6:19 down ass foo
The higher the socks
The Downer the foo
I will always wear knee high socks till the day I die. To hell with societal norms and what people think is appropriate. Confidence will always make anything look good because I always get compliments on my crazy knee high sock. I'm a skater and they protect my shins when skateboarding. Forget what anyone says is fashionable just do you and make sure you're confident while doing it. Confidence is cool confidence is fashionable confidence is key.
What bottoms and/or brands do you usually wear with your knee high socks? I usually wear them with dresses but would love to broaden my horizon.
do u wear the knee high socks with shorts
Just bought a bunch of socks today. My feet are going to have the best winter ever.
Awesome video! Not enough style related channels and videos discuss materials, and that is very important. Something about polyester is that it's very water repellant, but very oil-friendly, which is why it is used for rain jackets a lot, but retains (bad) odors too easily, which is not ideal for sport garments. It can be breathable depending on the weave of the fabric, but in general, not very breathable indeed.
I wonder if something similar to this video could be done for shirts and jackets, comparing their materials and blends.
I think if you're going to do the crew sock thing, just match the brand of the sock to the shoes, or by a brand of socks that doesn't brand themselves on the socks, so like Hanes or something similar. It just looks strange wearing Nike socks with Converse shoes or Vans..
but nike owns converse now
I love no show socks also. I can't wait until all these goofy fad colored "fun socks" go out of style. They look so foolish when worn with business wear....And, they really kill the thunder of great sneaks like superstars, AF1s, etc.
superstars aren’t “great sneakers” cmon now
@@Txxerickk Well, I am much older than you, and remember Superstars when they first came out in the 60s...They were surely great sneaks back then, but sneaker technology has passed them by now...Simply substitute sneakers you think are great into my comment....
“When people think about socks, they’re probably thinking about crew length socks.” - The Modest Man 2019
I just watched a guy talk about socks for 10 minutes…
I agree with your comments about showing too much ankle with suits these days but I disagree with you about crew socks being a fad. For a while I think people scoffed at it because it was associated with old men who wore the slouchy dress socks with those strapped sandals and bermuda shorts. But I feel like younger people wearing solid white or black crew socks with shorts has been around since at least the 90s. I remember clearly that in my high school and college days the look was everywhere and its only become more popular. Also, I'd add that for those who have super skinny legs/ankles and still want to wear shorts it can help make them look a bit fatter :D. Anywho, that's my two cents.
Sidenote - I feel like that pic with the guy wearing a gold chain, wife beater, bad haircut, and socks that are more over the calf than crew socks, is a bit of a misrepresentation.
@@danlopez6960 interesting, considering he’s the only guy in this entire video that actually looks like a man. Up until around 2000 guys socks were exclusively white and knee-high or close to it, and we are quickly reverting back to that now. Short/colored socks on men were an abysmal fad. If you buy crew socks that actually fit they will reach the middle of your calf, and I purposely buy big and tall size crews so that they hit my knees, and the heels settle on the backs of my legs. Looks amazing, and is increasingly popular.
You make really good videos and your way of explaining is really decent.
Just try to be a bit more regular uploader and you'll to great😇
Good information here. Like most accessorizing, many go too far in either direction. I love ankle socks with shorts, tennis shoes, or playing golf. I get blisters with no shows because the heel of the sock is below the heel of the shoe.
Agreed, ankle socks are perfect for activewear!
JUST WEAR THEM HOW YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE PERIOD!!
I use knee high socks cuz its comfy..
The survey of different materials at 7:40 is incredibly useful, and not just in the context of socks.
i wear ankle length socks with high top converse! quarter crew socks peek out the top and i hate the look, and ankle length is way more comfortable than no shows lol
bro wtf this guy has a degree on socks
Great vid! though I find your comment about inserts blasphemous. 😜
Who cares just wear the socks you have
I ADORE socks. Probably my 2nd favourite pair of clothes to wear. I have over 300 pairs of socks. (That’s 2 dresser drawers full)
I have a favorite pair of socks. My oj crew socks. They're orange and black. Orange stripe on the top. I wear them occasionally to work or when I'm out skating. I will probably get ripped on for having that oldschool 70s teen skater look but thats how I like to dress
i can't wear anything other than crew socks D: feel naked
Eddie Winn disagrees with that thumbnail.
I’m sorry but at first glance of the thumbnail I thought he was David Dobrik...
Thumbnail is his feet
Running socks from Feetures Elite are hands down my favorite. Dress socks from Mack Weldon are amazing! I agree with your smart wool recommendations.
Those socks are soo comfy
brock you left us hanging on your fitness journey :(
I had a crazy couple of months, so my routine got all messed up. I am releasing a video about gym clothes very soon!
No mention of doubling up socks? In terms of winter warms there is no substitute with a long thin pair underneath a heavier pair. Two pairs of fine socks is also a great way to avoid blisters if there is any doubt about boots on a hike or long walk.
knee high athletic socks all day everyday
Knee socks or higher are super cool with skirts or dresses and I personally really like them. My absolute favorite sock is the kind that has really cool designs and I wear those all the time.
imagine taking fashion advice from this guy. what a joke😂
I never liked the look of no show socks on low top sneakers. The missing sock look always made me look uncomfortable
Oh my, I thought I'm the only one who thinked about that
I keep pulling up my socks and mom thought it's damaging the toenail so I keep pulling up and down plz help me!!!!
I watched a video on socks and now I'm subscribed to this guy. Amazing channel!
I remember hearing on the podcast that you were going to do a workout clothes video soon. Do you have a time frame on that vid? I'm in the market for some gym clothes right now, and could use some info.
1-2 weeks max!
@@BrockMcGoff Awesome, looking forward to it.
You nailed with the sock length but what about sock girth. I always have a problem finding socks that stretch enough.
oh its all in the girth......
I’ve seen a lot of people wear what’s in the thumbnail, including myself.
Pretty much you wear what the hell you want. And match with whatever..high or low. Doesnt matter...🗣🤷🏽♂️
Exactly..pretty much
What length is appropriate to wear under Jeans? Quarter or Crew?
why am i here im a girl.. i only came to find out how to style long vans socks😐
Am I the only one about to look up this polo bear hat?
It's a great hat. They have a whole series of "polo bear" caps - fave.co/2NafvW3
The Modest Man is it worth full price or wait for sale?
Gavia19 little bit pricy mate
I wear toe socks.
You didn't say anything about those...
No shows will fall off.
If your a skater, long socks with shorts will never die.
Before this video even starts I will say
I love wearing my damn calf socks with boat shoes and there’s nothing you can do about it
Sexy...
I never thought in my life that I would actually watch a whole dedicated video on socks💀
Stance brand is the best socks ever made!!! 🔥 🔥
i delivery packages for amazon for 8 hours a day, i have fruit of the loom tubes socks that cover my calfs, i also have compression sock that are thin. is the tubes ok to wear? i want to have healthy legs and something thatll help me keep workin for long hours?
Obsessed with stance crew sock solid black or grey or the no show
It doesn’t matter what people say you should wear. Wear what makes you comfortable and don’t listen to people like this who say you need to wear certain socks.
Finally!!! I struggle with socks way too long. I have a pair of wool bombas, what a comfortable sock, not as warm though. Great video!!!
I would not agree about poly socks. For high performance sport as tennis or football poly socks is must have. As you sweat cotton gets wet as cotton does not transfer moisture out. As cotton gets wet it not comfortable or cushioned anymore as well as causes blisters feet
Well when you're with the boys, ankle is pushing it, but after that it all good
Love socks prefer for myself over the calf or crew length with some nice patterns or even with characters on them. You gotta try and experiment with what you like
I wear OTC Knee High Socks Year round in the winter and the summer with shorts I like the look and the feel of them.
Always wear crew socks with vans lol.
I think socks are too underrated.. Socks are more important to complete the shoes/sneakers comfort
Crew socks with shorts and sneakers are valid.
I was today years old when I realised I've been doing socks wrong my whole life
It's a new beginning!
I remember douche bags wearing long black Nike socks with sperrys in high school 😅😂….so bad
Great video Brock! Do you have any recommendations on well fitting hoodies other than peter manning?
I just want a freek’n sock that FITS!
I’m a size 13 - they’re all too small!
10-13 size -nope!
I love to use nike crews on vans slip ons.

I'd like to add, when socks are too wide they fall down, true, but if they are too tight, they can cut your skin circulation and become quite uncomfortable/painful at the end of the day, or just after enough hours. This happened to me with some Smartwool socks, and I don't have particularly bulky legs. Those socks were my proper size but realized after wearing them, quite too tight for my liking in the upper rim. Some Uniqlo socks also suffer from this overtight rim, imho
Good point!
The higher the socks, the downer the foo
1. wearing leather shoes without socks grosses ppl out and nobody wants to go anywhere near it, cuz it's unhygienic and must reek. so no-show socks can fool ppl and gross them out, too.
2. many shoes touch and rub against your foot's skin if you wear no-show socks. so it's actual grossness + skin irritation.
3. Not everyone wants your librarian boy look ;P
Tube socks 19 inch for life!
Just Match the stripe colour with your shirt and shoes and BOOM nice Outfit while showing off your socks ;D
No show socks and crew socks are the only socks I wear casually. Everything else in between just doesn’t look good
I work at retail, I stand around 8-9 hours a day. Which sock type do you recommend for standing for periods of time?
I'd probably wear lightly cushioned wool crew socks like these - amzn.to/33FLztw (affiliate link)
Very informative
Came here looking for socks that give least friction. I dry up so soon around the ball of the foot and it stiffens and rips in a few weeks in that spot. And walking becomes uncomfortable
I will pick bamboo rayon and modal quarter socks and try them out - based on what i learnt here.
I didn’t think I would ever watched a video about socks but I liked it.
Great info 😤👌
Also does this apply to women?
I'm always mixed matched black and white socks, short with tall, inside out. I've never cared lol
Great video Brock. Do you wear no-show socks when wearing sneakers with jeans/chinos? Is it best to wear crew socks with jeans/chinos or does it depend on the shoes you wear and the season/weather? I sometimes feel like no show socks only work in the summer with shorts.
I do wear them with pants, except in fall/winter. Agreed that crew length works best in cool weather!
I hate ancle high because they end up at the bottom my feet and it is very unconforble
Great content. This is why i like this channel.
Fashionable guys do not folllow rules. Check out G-Dragon, the purveyor of high-low fashion in Asia and the rest of the world who are culturally, fashionably woke.
So long as one doesn't don sports socks with leather shoes.
