One of the hottest sock styles on the market right now is the one you never see: the no-show.
The perfect choice for loafers and sneakers, no-show socks provide essential cushioning and moisture management. And because of their invisible nature, they don’t distract from the footwear.
But that doesn’t mean no-shows should be dull. While many styles come in basic black and nude, brands also offer more-playful looks, featuring stripes, polka dots and even novelty prints. After all, if no one sees your socks, what’s the harm in having a little fun with them?
Below are several nonboring no-shows for men.
1. Pair of Thieves Earth Orbit No-Shows
Though Cash Warren is best known as the husband of Jessica Alba, he’s also the co-founder of Pair of Thieves and has brought to the world this set of space-inspired breathable-mesh socks.
