The humble sock is as important to an outfit as good underwear; good socks give assurance. Comfort is crucial of course, as is the design, colour and length. There are some great British companies producing great socks out there, these are our top three picks.
1) The Wye - The Eagle Sock Company. I really like this Derbyshire - based company and their terrific brand of good socks. This fairly simple,classic polka dot sock comes in a variety of colours. I chose this one as I like the brightness and contrast of colour. Available at eaglesock.co.uk and priced at an amazing £9.00 .
2) HJ48 Colour Fashion Sock - HJ Hall. 'Sock makers since 1882' proudly adorns HJ Hall's website and they are clearly still bang on the money when it comes to producing British socks. This block colour statement sock would be a great addition to any wardrobe. HJ Hall also gives you the choice of a load of different colours, I like the sky blue. Available at HJ.co.uk and priced at just £3.99. Get a different colour for each day of the week.
3) 80- 4002 Pure Cotton Socks - Corgi Hosiery. Another staple of the British sock industry, Corgi has been producing fine socks and knitwear since 1892. These socks are made with 100% Egyptian cotton guaranteeing comfort. The design is superb, the choice of colour excellent. A lightweight and stylish sock. Available at corgihosiery.co.uk and priced at a very reasonable £16.00
