Why does Over-the-Calf Matter?

Few things will ruin the look of an otherwise sharp evening ensemble more quickly than short socks, because they will inevitably become saggy and baggy while exposing your legs. Traditional over-the-calf dress socks don’t have this issue as their length helps them stay up all day. It doesn’t hurt that in addition to remaining up, Fort Belvedere dress socks also look great, thanks to their subtle sheen and availability of formal evening socks in a select palette of sedate and dignified colors.

Finest Socks In The World - Over The Calf in Black Silk

The Eternal Elegance of Formal Light Navy

This particular pair appears in dazzling light navy, the perfect transitional color between the traditional black of eveningwear and the unique color palette typical of Warm Weather Black Tie, Festive Black Tie, or a subtle twist on more conventional Black Tie. Whether setting off a colorful boutonniere or harmonizing with a midnight-blue dinner jacket, these light navy formal evening socks provide a pop of unexpected color without compromising on the dignity of the occasion.

How to Wear These Formal Socks

Formal socks are necessary for formal dress codes like Black Tie, White Tie, and morning wear, although colorful varieties like these are best reserved for Festive and similarly more casual Black Tie occasions. They should be worn with opera pumps, formal evening slippers, patent leather or similarly formal oxfords, and formal dress boots. Because these socks are so sublimely thin and breathable, some of our customers also enjoy wearing them in warm and hot weather to keep their feet cool.

Formal Sock Etiquette

For conventional Black Tie, White Tie, or morning wear occasions, for which higher degrees of formality are expected, you should wear traditional black formal socks. On certain occasions, including events for which the dress code is Creative Black Tie, Festive Black Tie, or something similar, however, you have the opportunity to bend formal conventions and add vivacity to your look with colorful formal socks.

The light navy of these socks is perfectly acceptable for all but the most formal Black Tie events. Whether harmonizing with other colorful accessories in your ensemble, setting off a toned dinner jacket, or serving as unexpected visual interest, these elegant socks will be right at home on the deck of a cruise ship with an ivory dinner jacket, ringing in the New Year at a swanky gala in a midnight blue tuxedo, or when you are hosting friends at home in a decadent smoking jacket.

The Most Luxurious Materials

Combining 75% silk with 25% Egyptian 2-Ply Fil d'Ecosse cotton, the high-quality materials used for these socks have been carefully selected and proportioned to create socks that stay properly positioned on your legs while feeling light, comfortable, and airy. And their beautiful sheen is icing on the cake!

Sized For You

To ensure a comfortable fit and the correct positioning, your dress socks should always be sized, because no one’s feet are “one size fits all.” At Fort Belvedere, we proudly offer all of our dress socks in five sizes, from Small to Extra Extra Large.

To determine your size, use our accompanying size chart. We have also made a video tutorial to aid you in finding exactly the right size for your foot, taking into consideration personal preferences like desired tightness or looseness.

When your new socks arrive, they will appear large, but this is because they will shrink to the perfect size in the wash.

If you buy multiple socks, wash and then dry one pair first to double-check fit before shrinking all of the socks in the order.

How to Care for Your Socks

Your socks arrive with a green tag attached. To remove it, simply pull on the loose green thread.
Do not use a knife or scissors as you could accidentally damage the fabric.
Initially, your socks may appear large or loose. They will shrink in the wash.
Wash your silk socks either by hand or machine on Delicate with appropriate detergent.
The temperature should be Warm or 30°C -40°C / 86°F-104°F
Put them in a little wash bag so it's easier to pair them afterwards
Ideally, you pull them in shape and you let them air dry.
Why not put them in a dryer? Anything you put in the dryer will not last as long as it could if it was air-dried. Yes, we get it. It's more convenient and our socks should be able to handle the dryer every once in a while, but if you want to get the most of your socks, do not dry them regularly.
We suggest washing them in a garment bag to avoid bruising the silk.
For best results, fully extend the socks and allow them to air dry.
Why not put them in a dryer? The dryer is rough on delicate silk and will compromise the appearance and longevity of these silk socks.
