Anthracite & Light Grey - Birdseye - Super-Durable Wool
This pair of Super-Durable knee-high socks with a birdseye pattern in anthracite & light grey is made of merino wool. The birdseye pattern gives an original touch to the combination of these two contrasting colours. These socks, which come just below the knee, can be worn on any occasion and can easily be combined with many colours (preferably plain outfits without patterns).
The reason we advise you to wear them with plain colours, such as black, navy blue, red or green, is to really bring out the contrast between the two shades of grey. Another safe and stylish option would be to wear these socks with a classic grey suit.
These socks, made in Italy, have two undeniable advantages:
- Their resistance and durability. Thanks to the combination of synthetic fibres, the Super-Durable range offers the strongest socks on the market, approved by the Martindale test. In addition, they have been reinforced at the toe and heel, for extra protection.
- Their softness. The merino wool used is of outstanding quality, as well as easy to care for as it has been pre-treated to withstand machine washing at 40° (but not tumble drying).
