I remember all the mornings when I had to wear mismatched socks to school because one sock of one pair would fray because it had been in the dryer or lost because my dog decided it would make a good toy. 

It doesn't help that my mom would occasionally forget to put 'buy new socks' on her shopping list - because well, it's just not as pressing or blatantly necessary like chicken for dinner.

But socks are important - I always feel strange when I don't have the right pair on or I realized that my socks don't match. It's a nagging feeling that bugs me throughout the day and I always vow to not let it happen again.

And now, my sartorial vows can somehow be fulfilled. Blacksocks.com, a Swiss-company based in Zurich, will solve all your socks woes and more. By offering a Sockscription which works the same exact way as your magazine and dvd subscriptions, you never will run out of fresh, new socks when you really need them. 

For an annual subscription of US$89, "sockscribers" receive three pairs of socks every four months for a total of nine pairs annually. The socks are manufactured in Northern Italy, using the highest quality yarns with long fibers that pill less and are more durable. You have the option of calf socks, knee socks, and cashmere silk socks. 

I personally love the cashmere silk socks - they are soft, offer ample ventilation and so comfortable. Another staple is the mid-calf socks. They are produced with Peruvian Pima cotton. The long fibres of this particular type of cotton pill less and as a result, are more durable.

I wash and I wear my socks and I repeat the whole cycle many times and I am really pleased with the quality of the socks and how they just serve their purpose - nothing less. And before I know it, time flies and I get new ones which is always something to look forward to. It's not just socks, blacksocks.com also offers the same subscription service for underwear and basic tees. Now you won't ever have an excuse to wear dirty underwear again.  

A fantastic service that will save you time, money and frustration. And to think of it, this would make an awesome gift. 

Get your socks, tees and underwear at Blacksocks.com.  

Loafers look equally dapper with tailored pants or shorts - unfortunately, attempting the casual, preppy look of wearing loafers with socks can sometimes be a hassle when you don't have the right pair of socks. They are either too tall or too thick and don't give you the complete illusion that you desire.

I am a fan of Comfilon's low-cut loafer socks. These thin, lightweight socks give you the sockless look without the unpleasant odor from going sockless. They come in 2 colors - beige and black so you get options - say if you rather your socks match your skin tone (beige) or your footwear (black).

I wear them all year round and they are one of my favorite discoveries. Their price point is also something to love!  They offer 2 different fabric choices - 50% nylon, 41% cotton, and 9% Lycra® spandex (US$5.99 for 2 pairs) and 100% nylon (US$12.99 for 2 pairs).

Get them at Comfilon.
