Comfort is the word when it comes to Argyle Socks. Comfortable socks are right next to comfortable shoes. What good is a comfortable pair of shoes if you have an itchy pair of socks that also have lumpy seams. You will be conscience all day of your uncomfortable feet when you are wearing the wrong socks.

Argyle socks are so soft and comfortable, with no seam that you can detect, when you have them on. They are the perfect finish to your outfit, whether you are going out to work or going to play. They not only feel good they look great.

Men’s  Argyle Socks come in several lengths so that you can wear them with dress pants, jeans or shorts in the summer time. They can also be worn with different types of shoes. The way you wear them may depend on the color and design for example with dress pants and shoes you would select a darker color with less diamonds or one with more muted colors.  The length would not matter so long as the tops were above the cuff line of your pants. Of course for sports wear you can get as bright as you want and wear the short or long ones.  It is all a matter of personal choice.

We have the Scottish highlanders to thank for the argyle socks since the pattern was derived from Tartan of Clan Campbell in western Scotland. The pattern was used for kilts and plaids. Also known as Tartan hose.

The argyle pattern is typically woven with a diamond pattern in a diagonal checkerboard arrangement. Usually there is an overlay of intercrossing diagonal lines on solid diamonds. I’m sure that they were probably made of wool, which would make them less comfortable than ones we wear today.

Argyle knitwear became popular in England and then the USA after the first world war.

Argyle socks were worn by certain golfers in the late 1920s. And today some sports teams wear bright contemporary interpretations’ of the argyle socks.

The men’s argyle socks are obviously here to stay, and they get better with time. Thanks to the innovations in manufacturing them. The material used in making the argyle socks make them comfortable and durable and easy to care for.

Men’s argyle socks also speak volumes when it comes to fashion. They are available in many colors and are sometimes designed with several of those famous diamonds, sometimes they may only have one diamond set just to let you know that they are argyle.

The men’s argyle socks can be purchased in a variety of lengths and the color choice is unlimited.  When you buy argyle socks and wear them the first time you will realize that you will never be able to go back to any other kind of sock.

However men are not the only ones allowed to wear argyle socks, women love them too, and have taken them to a complete new level, enhancing them  with floral designs. But women also love the traditional diamond pattern.

Don’t let another day go by without owning a few pairs of men argyle socks. Remember that you can wear them with anything.
