When ankle socks came into picture, a lot of people were relieved that they wouldn’t have to see the funny print on others socks anymore and most of all not get embarrassed in public because of their own socks. Ankle length socks certainly revolutionized the sock industry by coming up with alternatives that no one could think of and make a huge impact in the market. So much so that, today, barring sports fields and sporting events, most people prefer to wear no show socks or ankle length socks when stepping out in sneakers or sports shoes. Even your average jogging session will now have smaller pair of socks for the feet, for that is the trend now.

Believe it or not, but no show socks came into picture decades ago, when people decided that they needed more comfort for their feet but they did not want the extra material or padding to show. It is only recently that they came into the spotlight when people started sporting them with sneakers, sports shoes and some even with heels and boots. Over the years, more and more people turn to these cute little socks as manufacturers improve their style, comfort, colors, and quality. No show socks certainly made their mark, with their appeal and their cute size, which really helped to get their way into women’s wardrobes.

They can also be of great help during winters. We love to wear boots during winters. Whether they are thigh high or knee length or ankle booties, it is an essential part of our winter wardrobe. But many times even during the harsh winters our feet will still sweat because they are in a closed environment within boots. So in such cases these socks or even knee socks can do the trick.

Plus, the whole socks look goes great with a nice pair of leggings. During winter when all you want to do is wear warm and comfortable clothing, pile on layers and look your best, leggings can do wonders to your outfit. How? Imagine this. A black mini skirt paired with black see through leggings fashion and completed with a layer of black socks. You can then complete the look with an over sized sweater and a pair of cute ankle booties. You can also replace the skirt with shorts or even dresses paired with over sized coats and blazer or utility jackets for that matter.

Even for men, it became a very convenient choice. Men love the loafer look and the bare ankles but during the summer, sporting these shoes can be a huge problem. You need to wear socks to absorb sweat from your feet and void taking your stinky feet everywhere. So how do you do that? With no show socks. So you can look you stylish best and at the same time avoid any awkward situations that may have otherwise risen due to the stinky and smelly feet.
