Prices of Men's Cotton Socks

The prices of men's cotton socks can fall within a large range. Cotton socks can be priced relatively low (sometimes around $1.00 per pair) or relatively high, and sometimes higher than $10 per pair. The price of socks generally depends on the occaision in which socks will be worn, and the durability. If you are looking into purchasing dress socks, they will cost substantially more than your basic cotton sock.

Usually, more expensive socks will include some sort of pattern, or design to make them appear a little more classy. Sometimes these cotton socks for men will be created with a higher grade of materials, or may even be hand crafted. It may be worth your time to look into several different sources for socks and compare prices from different stores.

Types of Men's Socks

Men’s cotton socks come in several different types, both in height and in usage. A popular option among today's youth are low cut socks. You will see many young individuals wearing socks that come barely above the ankle, and when wearing shorts it may appear that the man is not wearing socks at all.

The low cut sock is also known as the crew sock. A step above the low cut sock is the ankle sock. Men’s cotton ankle sock socks will ideally end about a half inch above the ankle. The ankle sock is also known as the cuff sock. Beyond the cuff sock you also have mid calf socks, and knee high socks. In the past it was popular to wear knee high socks, but today that style is seen more in athletic socks for sports like soccer or football. 

Styles of Socks

Along with types, there are many different styles of men's cotton socks as well. Depending on what you will be doing when you are wearing the socks, you may want to look into a style that will fit your need. If you are going to be wearing normal casual clothing or just lounging around the house you probably want to look into casual socks.

Mens casual cotton socks are generally white or black and made out of cotton. For a more formal event, the socks that you are looking for are dress socks. Dress socks may or may not be made out of cotton.  If you have your heart set on cotton, be sure that you’re getting all cotton socks, and not a lower quality blend of other materials.
