You don't know these things about socks

Why do socks get thrown away one by one? Because if you throw away two together, you won't know what's going on.

Everyone likes fresh and clean socks, but no one likes socks that are sticky, dirty, and smelly from sweaty feet. After washing your feet, you don't even want to pick them up with your hands.

In TV dramas, people who have affairs always accidentally pull down a sock that serves as evidence of a crime by the bed. In "Desperate Housewives", husband Carlos found a men's white sports sock under the bed. But his wife told him that it was used by the maid at home for cleaning. The next morning, Carlos saw the maid wiping the stair railing with socks on, and couldn't help asking, and got a positive answer from the maid. And this sock was left by the gardener John when he and his wife Gabrielle had a private date. The maid had been bribed by his wife Gabrielle.

Socks are everywhere. In the past, socks were hidden in shoes, trouser legs, and skirts. Nowadays, our shoes are getting shallower, trouser legs and skirts are getting shorter, and socks have more and more opportunities to show up in front of people. Socks are becoming more and more popular, and the styles and colors are richer and bolder than ever before.

Wearing socks with sandals, with half of the white socks showing under the black trouser legs, this kind of dress is becoming less and less common. Our aesthetics are improving, and we have more choices when solving needs.

Short skirts have led to a rapid growth in the stockings industry. Heating and air conditioning allow people to wear a variety of skirts in the cold winter, and at the same time greatly stimulate the richness and diversity of pantyhose and stockings. In winter, we often wear black pantyhose and stockings. Some socks are as thick as cotton pants.

In addition to short skirts, we also wear pantyhose when wearing "boot pants" in winter. It's just that now "boot pants" have been replaced by "short-leg pants" of various lengths. Today, when ankles are exposed, many young girls will expose their bare ankles even in the cold winter. Some girls who are afraid of cold and pursue fashion will wear "stacked socks", or more conservative ones will wear black pantyhose inside.

In the relatively warm spring and autumn, the secret for girls to expose their insteps and enjoy foot comfort is "invisible boat socks".

When we rest at home, a pair of soft and wide floor socks can greatly liberate our feet.

A variety of trousers, skirts and shoes have given birth to socks to match them.

According to different materials, socks can be divided into: silk stockings, cotton socks, wool socks and rabbit hair socks.

According to different shapes, they can be divided into stockings and short socks.

Among them, stockings are mainly pantyhose and ordinary stockings.

Short socks can be divided into: mid-tube socks, short socks, boat socks, shallow mouth socks, stacked socks, five-finger socks, floor socks, sports socks, etc.

In addition, there are special designs, with a layer of gel attached to the inside of the heel of the socks, which can effectively prevent the feet from drying and cracking. Suitable for people with particularly dry feet in cold winter.

Generally speaking, choosing socks of different thicknesses according to the different weather conditions is the first thing people consider when choosing socks.

In spring, autumn and summer, we wear thin cotton socks or silk socks, and generally do not wear socks when wearing sandals and slippers.

In winter, we wear thick cotton socks, wool socks or pantyhose. In the days when the socks category was not so rich, we also had socks knitted with wool and hand-sewn quilted socks.

As for the stockings we wear, there are various thicknesses to choose from from summer to winter.

The packaging of stockings or pantyhose has labels such as 50D, 200D, and 300D. "D" is the calibration of the thickness of the stockings. It refers to the unit of fiber fineness, and the number of grams in every 9000 meters of fiber is called D. So the higher the "D" number, the higher the relative weight and the thicker it is.

Ultra-thin stockings are 3D-12D, ordinary thin stockings are 12D-39D, medium thickness is 40D-200D, thick stockings are 300D-2000D, and those above 2200D are ultra-thick.

Among them, the thickness of 1600D and above is almost the same as autumn trousers. This situation is not completely absolute. With the development of technology, 7D warm stockings can be produced, which are suitable for wearing in slightly cool spring and autumn. The warmth of 60D velvet stockings produced in Japan is close to that of autumn trousers, and its moisture resistance and windproofness are better than cotton autumn trousers.

Today, beauty and comfort are equally important. In addition to the thickness and material of socks, the style and Color Of Socks are also often considered.

It is a common practice to match long stockings and pantyhose with skirts and shorts.

Middle-tube socks and short socks are generally matched with trousers.

Boat socks are matched with nine-point pants, or shorter 7-point pants.

Stacked socks are also used with 7-9 point short-leg pants. They are not only beautiful, but also can protect ankles and increase warmth.

Invisible boat socks are used with shallow shoes.

Five-finger socks are more suitable for people who often sweat on their feet. The design of five-toed separate toes can keep feet dry. Five-finger socks also have the design of mid-tube socks and boat-shaped socks, which can meet different clothing combinations.

We have so many styles of socks to choose from, but there is one thing that often makes us entangled: that is - how to choose the color of socks?

Matching the same color is everyone's consensus.

So when the color of clothes and shoes is different, should the color of socks follow the color of clothes or shoes? Can white socks only be matched with white clothes? Which is better, black stockings or flesh-colored stockings?

Here are some rules for matching socks colors, see if they are more reasonable!

With athletic shorts or pants and sneakers: white athletic socks

With white pants, white socks (thin);

With blue jeans: navy or gray

With black jeans: black

With black pants: black

With brown pants: dark brown

With gray pants: black or gray

With a skirt: choose socks that match the color of the shoes or skirt. The head-to-toe look should be seamless, so it is usually safest to make sure it matches the shoes.

With red, green, or other colored pants: Generally, the socks should match or complement the pants. If you are stumped, gray is usually a safe choice.

With golf long johns or pants with bold prints: In this case, choose a neutral color that matches one of the colors on the pants.

If the color combinations above seem too detailed and hard to remember, then follow these three rules to basically hold all the color problems.

White socks are the standard choice for athletic wear, and white socks should never be worn with a suit unless the suit and shoes are also white.

Stockings: Choose black, or a color that matches the overall look. Usually, they match the shoes.

Socks: They should match the pants or skirt.

In particular, although flesh-colored stockings are traditional colors, they are visually bloated, especially in autumn and winter, and look cheap and old-fashioned. Therefore, the first choice for stockings is black, followed by a color that matches the overall look.

In addition, wearing a skirt or shorts and exposing your legs is often a more fashionable choice. The premise is that the weather is hot enough, or you are not afraid of the cold!
