Striped socks are one of the ‘go to’ patterns for adding colour to plain business suit, but socks that are worn with formal shoes also need to be fine gauge. In their ‘Superfine’ range, HJ Hall Elkins Striped Egyptian Cotton Socks are exceptionally light and smooth, made in England by this historic company with elasticated cuffs and hand linked toes for smooth seams. Looks-wise, the socks have widely spaced single stripe bands, with the three colours repeated as blocks around the foot section. The choice of luxurious Egyptian cotton, with its superior pill, resilience and sleek sheen means the socks are brighter, smoother and stronger than most other fibre blends.
