Sock brands for more casual use

[Ddubs]

Do you guys have any recommendations for sock brands to wear a bit more casually? I'm not looking for dress socks but something to wear with jeans, chinos, loafers, OCBDs and perhaps a sports coat.

All I wear for casual socks is Darn Tough.

Darn tough is great! I also have a bunch of American Trench which are nice as well.

Doesn't Darn Tough contain a high poly count, like over 50%? Do they sell over the calf? What is everyone's priority here; longevity, comfort?

Gives me an idea for a new thread.

I took a look at my Darn Tough socks and seems they're a nylon/merino/spandex mix. I get a pair for Christmas every year from a relative and now have quite a few.

The American Trench I buy are 100% cotton.

My priority for casual socks is longevity (assuming they aren't super uncomfortable).

Not that high, at least some of them are around 30-40%ish. But they're thick. Even their "dress" socks without any sort of cushioning is way thicker than dress socks you get from Pantherella etc. They also run quite small, I don't know if it's because of the synthetics in the blend, but they feel very snug and I had to size up.

I wear them for running and when wearing sneakers, but not with dress shoes.

Im a big fan of Mazarin socks. They definitely are a luxury item however. It's a great product nevertheless.

I usually wear falke cool kicks. Curious to know what else people recommend. I generally like thinner cotton socks for mostly sneaker wear.

I have some in cashmere and silk blend, nice and comfortable.

They have increased the stock of the garments with a percentage of elastan (spandex) recently (pretty all) though, what I find disappointing.

I also had some in pure silk which wore out pretty soon, disappointing too.

I like long-wearing socks . . . the ones I buy from them do have a little elastane in them which honestly is fine with me.

I've had good experience with London Sock Co.
