Mid-calf socks in Silk

# Silk socks for exceptional comfort

Silk is a natural material derived from silkworm cocoons (also called mulberry silkworms). This material is famous for its many properties.

Softness: Pure natural silk socks are known for being particularly soft. Exceptionally fine and lightweight, these luxury socks are so pleasant to wear that you will forget you have them on within minutes! They provide great comfort for people with sensitive feet. The silk sock models offered by the Gammarelli house are ribless, often referred to as smooth silk.

Thermal regulation: Silk also has unique thermoregulatory properties. Thus, silk sock enthusiasts wear them even in summer, as they help keep feet cool and reduce sweating. In winter, they keep your feet warm.

Hygiene: Silk socks are hypoallergenic. This material is known to prevent the growth of bacteria. When worn, they inhibit bacterial formation on the feet, thereby preventing unpleasant odors.

Warmth: Combined with other materials, silk creates unique fabrics. For lovers of soft and warm materials, we offer cashmere & silk socks (30% silk and 70% cashmere). These high-end socks, available in mid-calf length (short - mid-calf), are among the softest, most comfortable, warm, and silky pairs available. The variety of colors allows you to stay elegant in all circumstances while enjoying exceptional comfort throughout the cold seasons.

Durability: Although a delicate material, silk has exceptional strength. Indeed, if you compare two threads of the same thickness, silk is stronger than steel! Mazarin offers models with a share of synthetic materials to ensure good durability.

# Refined silk socks

Silk socks are appreciated because they symbolize refinement, attention to materials, and good taste. Socks for men and women that embody elegance and style.

Silk mid-calf socks are knitted in 100% silk or 95% silk (5% polyamide is added in some models for increased wear resistance). This makes them smooth and shiny, enhancing the fineness of the fiber and guaranteeing unmatched elegance. They can be worn on all occasions, especially when choosing a beautiful pair for an event or a special evening, where silk reigns supreme.

Worn with a suit, these refined socks add an extra touch of elegance, and pairing them with a tuxedo is a perfect match. They are especially suitable for events with a strict dress code where elegance is required, such as a “Black Tie” event. They can also be worn with other styles of outfits.

These knee-high socks are thin, so they can be worn with all fitted shoes or even with slightly wider shoes. You can match them tone-on-tone with your outfits or create contrasts.

# Silk, an excellent material for accessories

In the field of fashion accessories, despite many materials, silk predominates. It is a noble material that allows the production of discreet and very elegant pieces, as well as statement pieces in your outfits.

The silk tie is a classic of the men's wardrobe. It is also widely used in the making of scarves, bow ties, and even suit pocket squares.

When it comes to socks, silk is considered by many to be the ultimate purist material! These luxury socks, distinguished by their refinement, have become essentials for any lover of elegant socks.

Note: Gammarelli also offers a range of silk knee-high socks (high - below the knee) available in two iconic colors of ecclesiastical tailoring: red silk knee-highs and black silk socks.

# How to care for silk socks?

Silk is a delicate material. Some models have been reinforced to increase their abrasion resistance. For short silk socks, these models have been reinforced with a portion of polyamide. When caring for them, we recommend washing them inside out by hand. If you prefer machine washing, choose a gentle spin cycle (maximum 600 rpm) and a low temperature (ideally cold, or up to 30°C). Do not use a tumble dryer, and never iron them!
