White socks

# White socks, how to style them?

Often criticized, white socks lost their popularity for a long time. But that doesn’t mean you should banish them from your drawer; on the contrary, they are making a comeback!

Sure, it’s best to avoid pairing dress shoes with white sports socks, but don’t forget that white socks can be a style detail that makes a difference. Do you remember the famous shoes of the "King of Pop" and his contrasting white socks?!

Moreover, the white color is very bright and pairs elegantly with all your looks, especially your summer outfits. Discover all our models of short white socks, to wear daily, with dressy or casual outfits, or even for sports. Also discover all our tips to style them elegantly without any fashion faux pas while owning your style!

# How to wear white socks daily?

Although its color is relatively neutral, a white sock is not ordinary. On the contrary, wearing it with your daily outfits is the most direct expression of your style and fashion taste.

Plain white socks

With rather classic or formal dressy outfits, we recommend opting for a pair of plain white socks. Their bright color will stand out as a playful detail while remaining relatively discreet thanks to their simplicity.

Wearing white socks with dressy outfits won’t risk looking outdated if the model is knitted with ribs. Indeed, the ribs on socks are often the detail that adds a chic touch to a model.

Here are the three plain white sock models we recommend wearing with daily outfits:

White socks in 100% Scottish thread: these ivory mid-calf socks have a very refined white shade, their composition in Egyptian cotton is fine and light, ideal to wear all year round and especially with spring outfits.
White linen socks: linen is a very breathable material that lets feet breathe while keeping them dry in hot weather. This model is therefore perfect for summer! Especially since the color of the heathered off-white socks gives a very elegant tone to the model, which pairs perfectly with linen pants or light-colored chinos.
Beige wool socks: white is not really a winter color, which is why the Mazarin brand opted for beige super-strong wool socks. This light beige pair will brighten up your winter outfits softly and without contrasting too much with your dark winter clothes.

Note: the must-have white sock remains the Gammarelli high socks. Why? Because the Gammarelli white sock, also known as the tailor of the Popes in Rome, is precisely the color of the socks specially knitted for the Pope and only available in mid-calf models!

White socks with patterns

Fans of playful fashion details will especially enjoy wearing our white patterned models. The white part of the sock highlights the pattern, giving it a very original contrasting effect.

Here is our selection:

The Alpha white sock: this pair of extra-soft cotton socks exclusive to Mazarin features the brand’s name through a very stylized multicolored alphabet. This white sock is perfect to wear with sneakers!
The transat sock: the transat pattern is inspired by the fabrics of deck chairs arranged on the docks of vintage cruise ships. The transat model is therefore particularly chic, notably thanks to its very fine vertical stripes which here combine white and green as on this green & white striped Mazarin model for a colorful original touch. The green is directly inspired by the color of the three-striped brand to perfectly match your iconic green clover sneakers.

The Ivy League model: If you like the casual chic style of students from the top American universities, dare to wear this linen and cotton sock with its navy blue bands at the ends. This pair is very light and its discreet pattern will be appreciated by the most stylish.

# White sports sock

The white sock is also the ultimate sports sock. Mazarin offers a wide range of white sports socks with a vintage pattern. They make perfect white tennis socks or running, golf socks, etc. You’ve never had so much style while working out!

Here are the exceptional features of the white sports sock:

Its color: white is a neutral sporty color that matches with almost any outfit color. It’s also a color that doesn’t retain much heat, an essential advantage for physical activity!
Their thickness: the sole of each sock is knitted in terry loop, a technique that adds extra thickness to the socks for more comfort during effort and limits friction and jolts.
Their colored bands: the Mazarin short white tennis socks have wide colored bands at their ends. This detail will give a vintage touch to your outfits, like this pair in French colors for example. They can also be worn with sneakers and casual outfits for streetwear lovers!

Note: we mentioned ribbing for the chic look, and sports models are no exception! Indeed, each sports sock has fine ribs that ensure a perfect fit on the leg throughout the effort. So, who said white socks are out of fashion?
