Socks

Socks might seem like an afterthought in a lingerie shop, but they can make or break a look. Imagine putting together a perfect outfit, whether it's jockstrap and boots or a full leather and wetlook ensemble, and then ruining it with a pair of tatty white sports socks. We stock socks that actually complement the rest of your outfit, from sheer and fishnet to bold prints and novelty designs.

Our mens sock range goes well beyond what you'd find on the high street. There are sheer dress socks that show a hint of skin, fishnet socks for a bolder look, novelty prints for people who like their underwear to have personality, and classic styles in colours and patterns designed to pair with intimate clothing rather than work suits.

Lengths range from ankle and no-show to knee-high and over-the-knee. Some are purely practical, others are a fashion statement in their own right. They're a small investment that can tie a whole outfit together or add a fun detail that shows you've thought about the entire picture.

Match the sock to the occasion and the outfit. Sheer or fishnet socks pair well with smart-casual looks and make a subtle statement that says you've put effort into the details. Bold prints and novelty designs work for fun occasions and private moments where personality is part of the appeal. For themed outfits or costumes, the right socks complete the character.

If you're putting together a bedroom outfit, knee-high or over-the-knee socks add a visual element that ankle socks don't. And if you're just looking for better everyday socks, our range includes options that look good without being outrageous.

Regular socks go in the machine as normal. Sheer and fishnet socks are more delicate and should be hand washed or machine washed in a mesh bag on a cool cycle. Don't tumble dry sheer socks because the heat damages the fine fibres. Novelty print socks should be washed inside-out to protect the print. Air drying is always the safest option for anything other than standard cotton.

Socks are one of the easiest ways to express personality in your outfit. They're a low-commitment, low-cost way to try something different without overhauling your entire wardrobe. For bedroom wear, the right pair of socks avoids the awkwardness of being naked except for mismatched, worn-out everyday socks. It sounds trivial, but it's the kind of detail that shows you've thought about the whole picture, and partners do notice these things.

Think about the length and material for the occasion. Ankle socks are casual and practical. Crew length covers more and works with most outfits. Knee-high and over-the-knee are statement pieces that pair well with briefs or jockstraps for a specific look. Sheer socks are best for dressed-up occasions. Cotton and blended socks are the most comfortable for all-day wear.

Socks are generally affordable, so the price difference between budget and premium isn't dramatic. The main quality indicators are fabric softness, elastic quality (does the sock stay up?), and print durability. A slightly more expensive pair will hold its colour after more washes and won't lose its elastic as quickly. For everyday wear, spending a couple of pounds more per pair is worth it. For a novelty pair you'll wear once for a laugh, budget is fine.
