I made a wise purchase 7 years ago in 2010. I bought 36 pairs of Calvin Klein dress socks at Costco for $97.78. It was a very good price. I bought women’s socks so they will fit me perfectly. Seven years later, these socks are still good. I am very satisfied. I think they can last 10 years (3 more years). But it was time for me to change.

I hate it when my socks slide down. My socks would never stay up. I would pull up my socks 20 times a day when I’m at work. I get the satisfying feeling when I pull my socks up. It feels good when my socks are uptight and neat. But they will slide down in 2 minutes. I would tolerate it if I was still young and poor. But now I felt the need to fix this sliding socks problem once and for all. I just needed to buy better socks.

I also realized the importance of socks. Your socks will peek out just a little when situations arise. But that small “peek” will complete your look. Nicely matching socks will give out a subtle hint about your uniqueness. I needed new socks for that reason as well.

My budget was $400.00. I spent the first 6 months shopping for several socks from different websites and department stores such as Nordstrom and H&M. I even ordered a few pairs from the UK. I spent $100.00 on trying out different socks.

6 months later, I found the socks I like. They are knee-high (over the calf) socks from Falke in Germany. I spent a few more months deciding the exact model and size. Then I ordered about 25 pairs. The socks sell for $20+ a pair. They don’t sell those in the US, so I had to order from the UK and Germany. I spent more money than I imagined. But I will not think about socks for several years. Overall, I am extremely satisfied.

Mens Knee High Socks

Knee-high socks are the best. They stay up. You know that satisfying feeling I talked about when I pull my socks up? Now I enjoy that satisfying feeling the entire day. This elevates my life-style.

If you look at my sock drawer and say “what’s up with tacky colors?” – that means you only wear sneakers or black shoes. That was me one year ago. I stopped wearing black socks since I wore Italian shoes. I don’t wear black socks, even if I wear black shoes with black pants.

Lastly. I have noticed that some hipsters with fancy socks wear their pants shorter, just like Michael Jackson in the Billie Jean video. so they will showcase their socks. I think that’s too trendy and trying too hard.

Men’s socks are like women’s cleavage. You don’t want to show them all the time. (You heard this from me first)
