Black Socks

Everyday Essentials

No matter who you are, where you’re from or what you do, there’s one thing that’ll be in everyone’s drawers; black socks. The low-key accessory that everyone needs to hand at all times, these could be considered the ‘Swiss Army knife’ of the underwear drawer.

Different types

Perfect for daytime, night time, work, the gym and pretty much everywhere else in-between, there’s not one place a pair of black socks won’t come in handy. Here at Matalan, you’ll find black socks to cater to your every need, including invisible socks, trainer socks, regular plain socks and sport socks.

Wear to work

No matter what your job, chances are you need to dress well or at least look smart Monday to Friday. One way to tie a whole outfit together that’s both subtle and classic is the black sock. Making sure your ankles aren’t on show or any bright colours are popping out as you sit down. Yes, the black sock is the unsung hero of your work wardrobe, always there to pull everything together.

Always on hand

But it’s not just work where the sock comes in handy. If you’re looking for a pair of socks to throw on before you leave the house, the neutral tone of black won’t clash with anything else that you’re wearing, blending in seamlessly with your smart or casual outfit. Oh, and then there are events like weddings and christenings where a bold red sock just won’t cut it, but a black sock will.

The essential drawer filler

While the majority of our black socks are just that, black, you’ll find the odd pair with a little colourful flair. From the heel to the toe to the top of the sock, you’ll find ones with small colourful detailing for that added sense of fun. Brought to you by several well-known brands too, such as Fila, Ben Sherman, French Connection and US Athletic, our black socks start at a size six and go up to a size 12.
