Okay, confession: The older I get, the more I actually appreciate being gifted socks. They're the underrated wardrobe essential we all need, and having the right pair makes all the difference. Thankfully, there's a pair of socks for any and every occasion, whether you're styling your fave flats, running errands in your most comfortable pair of sneakers, or debuting new dress shoes. There is ONE thing that socks must have in common, though—comfort. I could be dressed head-to-toe in the coziest fit ever, but if my socks aren't giving my feet VIP treatment (or worse—rolling down in my shoe), forget it! The thing about socks, though, is that you can't just buy one type to satisfy allll your sock needs. You need ankle or tube socks to wear with your go-to sneakers—chunky ones if you're going for the ultimate dad sneaker look. You need thicker, cozy socks to pair with your rain and snow boots (or just for lounging around). And you need loafer-friendly socks that you can show off, whether that be something with frills, something sheer, or a slouchy sock moment. Luckily, like most wardrobe essentials, you can find the perfect pair on Amazon. From chillin' on the couch with the newest rom-coms playing in the background to hitting the gym, the ‘Zon has your back—er, feet.
So, to help you check all your very pressing sock needs (and, fine, also myself), I gathered the 21 best socks from Amazon. Happy shopping!
If chunky loafers are a staple in your wardrobe (aka me), consider this a sign to treat yo'self to a few pairs of these frilly ankle socks. And don't worry—they look just as great with your favorite pair of sneakers, too.
Glowing Customer Review: "These were exactly what I needed and exceeded my expectations. I hate uncomfortable socks or socks made out of weird material, and these were neither. I wore these all day and my feet were comfy and did not slide around in my shoes- which can sometimes happen with cheap socks."
When you don't want your socks to show, opt for these no-show liners that are basically invisible. Plus, they're designed with silicone pads at the heel to avoid slipping down in your ballet flats.
Glowing Customer Review: "I always have issues with no shows but these are so comfortable and have a good grip on the heel that I do t have to worry about it slipping off. And it fits so perfectly and comfortably around the foot that you can’t tell you’re actually wearing them."
There's just something about having the little Nike logo peaking above your shoes that instantly elevates your athleisure fit. This sweat-wicking pack of socks is suitable for any workout you may have lined up, and yes, that includes your hot girl walks. Plus, thanks to the thick terry sole and impact cushioning, they'll make your fave sneakers feel even more comfy.
Glowing Customer Review: "I can never go wrong with a pair of Nike socks! I wear these all the time and I love them!"
If there was ever such a thing as a cozy hug for your foot, I'm almost positive it would look a little something like these. As soon as there's a slight chill in the air, you can count on these cute bbs being an everyday staple to lounge in and even wear for extra comfort with under your fave cowboy boots.
Glowing Customer Review: "These are the softest fuzzy socks ever! You get quite a few pairs for the price, all in great colors that are wearable. They are so nice and look so cute with my outfits! Great for keeping your feet warm too!"
We can't get over the slouchy sock look, and for good reason—they look great with sneakers or peeking over your ankle boots, and the design is just too comfy to take off.
Glowing Customer Review: "Please get this asap! These are so cute and i never thought i needed these until i got them myself. Now i even base some outfits around them lol so cute."
Something about this pair of neutral socks is so aesthetic, and I’m choosing not to question it. Plus, these socks pulled over your leggings and peeking out of your chunky boots will be *chef's kiss*.
Glowing Customer Review: "I’ve been buying these for years. They look great with converse, saddle shoes, etc. They wear well, stay up, and don’t bunch around my ankles."
Barefoot Dreams is known for its superrrr cozy blankets, so when I saw that these heathered socks were available on Amazon, there was no stopping me from hitting "Add to Cart." The thick, feels-like-a-cloud material is better for lounging than actually wearing out with shoes, but that's really no problem considering it's my fave pastime.
Glowing Customer Review: "I was influenced to buy these by TikTok and I'm glad I was. They're sooo cozy. Not tight around the ankles. I feel like they transform my feet into teddy bear paws."
For your favorite low-top sneakers (lookin' at my fellow Air Force 1 girlies here), you're gonna want several of these no-show socks for each day of the week.
Glowing Customer Review: "These socks do exactly what they say, they stay put and you can't see them when you're wearing your shoes and sneakers. I've tried a lot of those. No show, no slip socks and these are the only ones that have ever not slipped. I have bought them in every color."
I know what you're thinking—what are my dad's socks doing in this roundup? Well, your dad may be onto something because these basic crew socks are the perfect addition to a pair of comfy sneakers (especially those chunky New Balances) and even the trendy Ultra Mini Ugg boots for that model-off-duty look.
Glowing Customer Review: "I needed some long white socks but not socks as expensive as the Nike ones. These are perfect, I use them almost in a daily and it’s totally worth the price. They are super comfy and durable."
Slouchy crew socks hold a special place in my heart drawer, and this pair from UGG is the epitome of comfort—yup, just like the brand's footwear. The socks hit mid-calf, but you can scrunch them down for the perfect "oh, I just threw this on" look with the tiny UGG logo peaking out on the top.
Glowing Customer Review: "I don’t want to take them off! They are so cozy and comfortable. They don’t make my feet to hot and definitely keeps them warm enough. Plus they are super cute!"
Ten pairs. No repeating colors. Basic, comfy fit. Need we say more? With these classic cotton ankle socks, you can have a different aesthetic color for every day of the week depending on your fit, whether you're chilling at the house all day or need a comfy pair to get you through a long day.
Glowing Customer Review: "The sock colors are true to what is shown, exactly what I wanted. They are comfortable, soft, stretchy but not tight and are just perfect for casual wear."
If you need non-slip socks for your next slow burn, toning workout, these yoga socks have you covered. Designed with non-slip sticky silicone grips on the bottom, they help with stability and balance for your next pilates sesh.
Glowing Customer Review: "I have used these for all of my classes so far and really like them. They are not the softest material, but they fit and stretch appropriately without getting stretched out/too loose on my foot. I just washed them and they are so far in great shape still. Colors are bold and as pictured and did not fade with one wash."
These striped socks are a real blast from the past and give your outfits a retro vibe. Whether you're going for a sporty chic fit or want to shake things up and pair them with heeled pumps (trust us on this one), don't be surprised when they become a wardrobe staple.
Glowing Customer Review: "Love these socks! I’m 5’3 and these are the perfect mid height socks esp if you’re on the shorter side like me. They came exactly like pictures and are soft! NOTE: They are on the thinner side (but still really well made!) so definitely more of a fashion sock rather than a heavy duty absorbent gym/working out sock. I’d def order more!"
Who said socks had to be boring? It's okay to ditch your typical pair for a fun, sheer pattern that instantly adds a lil fun to your outfit. This sheer set will pair well with chunky loafers, boots, or comfy heels.
Glowing Customer Review: "I had three special events to attend. I was wearing dress pants and these wonderful stockings were just perfect with my black shoes. High quality and lovely design…very unique."
Sometimes, you don't always feel like wearing a smile on your face. I totally get it. But at least your socks can! Plus, it's easy to spread a little joy when they're peaking out of your high-top sneakers or loafers if you want to rock 'em at work.
Glowing Customer Review: "I loveeeeee these !! The little Smiley's on them make me so happy. How can you not be happy in these? I love the height on the ankle. They’re super soft and so comfy. Great price for the amount you get! Probably will be going back to buy the other color pack too! Super cute little 'extra' gift idea."
These socks are cushioned (bless!), provide arch support (yes, plz!), and wick moisture away (thank goodness) to make for the perfect athletic socks for all your activities, aka making it from the couch to the fridge. I mean, just think how cute they'd be paired with some comfy slippers!
Glowing Customer Review: "These socks are the most comfortable I have ever worn. I have worn these for many years. The fit gives you a comfort feeling and they’re fit perfect. I’ve never had them even shed one thread."
If you want some variety but the same cozy vibes, these knit socks should be in your drawer like, rn! Plus, they give that oh-so-adorable academia-style vibe when you're rocking some Mary Janes or ankle boots.
Glowing Customer Review: "I looooove how quickly these came in. They're not as thick or soft as I was expecting but still super worth the cost. The colors pop and all are drastically different enough I now feel I have a pair of socks for any color scheme."
Whether your doc recommended you try compression socks or you’re just on your feet all day and want some relief, this high-rated pack from Amazon is *it*. They're also amazing for long plane rides and travel.
Glowing Customer Review: "They are super cute, comfortable and just the right amount of compression. If you have circulation issues, you should definitely buy these if only been wearing them for 3 days... And what a difference in my energy level already!!"
Every wardrobe needs a classic pack of low-cut socks. It’s simply a bonus that this particular set comes with some fun prints.
Glowing Customer Review: "Really happy with these low-cut socks so far. I wanted them to be thin and airy for summertime use (with my gray and navy blue work scrubs/tennis shoes), and they definitely are. They held up well after a few washes so far!"
This pair of socks inspired by West African designs—which features Kente, Ankara, Wax print, and mudcloth—will add a gorgeous pop of color to your 'fit.
Glowing Customer Review: "Love, love love. As soon as the pack arrived, I had to order more because everyone wants them."
