Nice socks

Where can I get them? I used to have loads wool, cashmere, bamboo. Tweedy wool etc.

Things I didn't mind seeing the top of with my short boots on.

I quite like Esprit socks

Corrymoor mohair. Especially the Companion style. Warm, good range of colours, really warm, wash well as long as you don't tumble dry hot, and blissfully comfortable. Sadly, not cheap but you will get 5 or 6 years wear out of each pair. Bliss for feet.

And, no, they are not scratchy.

Thank you both, I will look at those, I bought some really nice fair isle British made wool socks from sock shop earlier. I had no idea sock shop still existed.

I like Elle socks, from TK Maxx. High cotton content is what I look for.

SugarLoveHeart · 29/01/2017 15:46

Sock Shop. I'm surprised too! Remember Knickerbox? And The Sweater Shop...

hecallsmebunny · 29/01/2017 15:58

TK Maxx is great for finding good socks!

BarchesterFlowers · 29/01/2017 16:04

I do Sugar, sadly, the wool and cashmere socks I am replacing were bought from Sock Shop when they had branches everywhere in London.

£25 a pair for socks Shock but if they last me 15 years again I won't complain.

I am not much of a shopper bunny, when we go into town it isn't to shop generally. I looked at t k maxx online and they only have 4 listings for womens socks.

Falke make the best socks.

Expensive, but worth it.

AmeliaPeabody · 29/01/2017 16:12

I like Avoca socks. Not to all tastes, however.

BarchesterFlowers · 29/01/2017 16:12

I have got some Falke socks, their current designs are not the look I am after.

I like the look of the Corrymoor socks

blueskyinmarch · 29/01/2017 16:15

I buy Green Treat socks from TK Maxx. They are bamboo ones and feel lovely on

rosybell · 29/01/2017 16:20

Braintree bamboo socks are lovely

applesandpears33 · 29/01/2017 16:21

I like the Pringle ones that Costco sell.

gingercat02 · 29/01/2017 16:25

I like boden socks and powder ones too (but I do like everything powder make)

SugarLoveHeart · 29/01/2017 17:46

Yeah, TK is the sort of place where you have to go in & have a good root around. I've actually never tried it online!

SugarLoveHeart · 29/01/2017 17:47

I got some Avoca socks for Christmas. Lovely!

Lucysdiamonds · 29/01/2017 18:39

Boots do nice bamboo ankle socks.
TK Maxx ?

bingohandjob · 29/01/2017 18:52

Merino socks - plain John Lewis ones.
