How to Wear These Socks

The pairing of Very Blue & White two-tone is a unique twist on a more formal pair of socks. It provides a different look under a more formal black suit, or with the more casual spectrum of Black tie.  If you are someone who frequently wears black suits or black ties, this would be a pair of socks we would highly recommend. The color scheme can match any element of an outfit and gives a more elevated look against more formal pants than plain black socks.

Formal Sock Etiquette

According to the traditional conventions of formal wear, formal socks should always be black. However, according to contemporary Classic Style guidelines, you may choose to add visual interest to your look by wearing formal socks that incorporate other colors, especially with two-toned knitting. Variations on the Black Tie dress code, including Creative Black Tie or Festive Black Tie, provide opportunities for wearing the widest variety of colors.

What Are These Socks Made Of?

• 75% Extra-Long-Staple Cotton. Our yarn is made in Italy from Egyptian ELS cotton with fibres over 33/35mm / 1.3" in length. This yields in a durable, naturally shiny yarns, which is perfect for our socks.
• 25% Advanced Tactel. Tactel is an exclusive fabric developed by Invista, crafted from the microfibers of nylon 66. This innovative material boasts a drying rate that is eight times quicker than that of cotton, while offering triple the durability and double the softness. Remarkably, it is also 20% lighter in weight. Additionally, Tactel maintains its size without shrinking and preserves its texture even after multiple washes. These socks, with their slight lustrous finish, mimic the look of silk, providing the elegance of silk without the hefty price tag.
• Manually Harvested Cotton. While it is more costly to pick cotton by hand, it also comes with a few benefits: 1. It avoids impurities 2. Cotton can be picked at the perfect degree of ripeness. 3. It avoids the use of defoliants which is harmful to humans.
• 2-ply Twisted Yarn. Twisting the cotton creates a lustrous and highly-resistant yarn which increases the longevity of the socks.
• Flame-treated Yarn. All yarns are flame-treated to burn off any fuzziness you may know from flannel. The result of this process leads to a brilliant yarn, uniformity in color as well as resistance to pilling.
• Mercerized Cotton. Our yarn is mercerized which makes the socks more abrasion resistant and therefore they last longer.
• Yarn-Dyed with Oeko-Tex 100 Dye. Our yarns are yarn-dyed, meeting the Oeko-Tex 100 standard, and because our cotton is highly absorbant we can use 35% fewer chemicals than regular cotton.

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 socks either by hand or machine 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 fabrics and will compromise the appearance and longevity of these socks
