Bless Your Feet With These Chunky Socks
The Highsnobiety Winter Wardrobe Manual is a guide to dressing well when temperatures plummet. Expect big coats, padded pants, snug accessories, and hibernation-ready homeware.
We’ve been very clear about our stance on socks. Socks are an accessory that time after time, season after season, is lost in the ether, forgotten somewhere in the crowd of standout sweaters or new-tech outerwear. Yet, socks stand by us faithfully, keeping our feet warm, and quietly rounding out our fits in style. We see you, socks. At Highsnobiety we know that socks maketh the fit, and now that we’re rolling steadily into the Christmas period, the chunky sock is the sock for us.
Not only are chunky socks a heartwarming comfort that’s more needed than ever in 2020, but they’re also an eye-catching accessory that shouldn’t be overlooked. Whether you’re continuing the socks-and-sandals trend during the colder months, or just looking for something worthy of filling the space between your shoes and pants, selections from Kapital, Gucci, and more should fit the bill.

Urban Outfitters Colorblock Marl Crew Sock
The gray and natural color palette of this pair from Urban Outfitters certainly piqued our attention. Along with the color-blocking, this palette makes for the perfect subtle flex that shows you've thought about your socks and you're playing it cool.
CHUP Yo Sock
CHUP's Yo Sock takes a decidedly more colorful tack, blending multiple patterns and colors in a definite Christmas style. This pair is ideal for the socks and slippers combination on Christmas morning.
Maison Margiela Bootleg Socks
One for the split-toe wearers. We know your struggle. On one hand, there's frustration at trying to find a pair of split-toe socks that's warm enough for the holiday season, and on the other, there's the literal pain of trying to wear normal socks with your split-toe footwear when you can't find the right pair. No more.
Kapital 56 Yarns MA-1 Heel Smilie Socks
Yeah, $47 seems like a lot to drop on a pair of socks, but if you know anything about Kapital, you just know it'll be worth it when you put them on. A rugged wool-cotton blend makes way for the signature smiley motif to the heel and to show that off you'll want to sport this pair with mules.
