Summer is just around the corner, but you don’t know how to navigate through the countless models of summer socks available? We’ve created this guide to help you choose the socks that best suit your needs. Choosing the socks that best fit your requirements and characteristics is definitely not easy, especially given the wide variety of models that differ in features, yarns, and small details that make a difference. That's why we decided to write this guide, to help you choose the best socks for your needs. To begin narrowing down your search, we can divide socks into four major macro categories:
• Classic socks
• Wellness socks (Medical, graduated compression, work socks…)
• Patterned socks
• No-show socks
CLASSIC SOCKS
Fashion changes every season, but our classic socks have a timeless, unmistakable style, perfect for dressing well in any occasion: at the office, at home, and in your leisure time.
Our collection of classic men’s socks has historical origins and is inspired by Italian tradition, reinterpreted by Ciocca with maximum attention to detail, craftsmanship, and the selection of yarns. For summer men’s socks, we use 100% twisted and mercerized Scottish cotton, and for winter socks, we use wool, silk-wool, warm cotton, and cashmere. You can choose from a wide range of models that vary in structure (smooth, ribbed, or fine ribbing), in color, and in length. The elegant and refined style of these socks makes them perfect for wearing all day in the office, at home, or for the most formal occasions—a true must-have for every man’s wardrobe. Made entirely in Italy in our company using the finest cotton yarns and the highest quality standards, they ensure the best durability over time. Here are the main models to choose from:
• Wide-ribbed socks in 100%
• Smooth socks in 100%
• 1:1 ribbed socks in 100% Scottish Cotton
• Chiffon Scottish Cotton socks
• Breathable Tactel socks
MEDICAL - WELLNESS SOCKS
These are suitable for people suffering from circulatory disorders in peripheral venous areas who need certified medical socks. Thanks to the soft cuff, which is twice the normal height and non-elastic, our medical socks do not apply any pressure to the calf and do not leave marks, but at the same time, they stay in place without sliding down the leg. Choosing the right socks requires extreme attention, especially for those with circulatory problems, diabetes, or for those who need to stand for long periods! Let's see the features that socks must have to be an excellent purchase and a reliable partner for daily life:
• Maximum comfort First of all, the flat seams at the sock’s toe give the sensation of freedom with any shoe, be it sports, work, or even the most elegant shoes.
• The soft cuff positioned just below the knee in long models prevents the sock from slipping down.
• The fit of the sock must adapt to all types of ankles and legs.
This is why at Ciocca, we have developed fine ribbing that allows the sock maximum elasticity and comfort, eliminating the painful marks from the elastic bands of other socks—also offering health benefits. Medical socks are specially designed for people suffering from circulatory problems and diabetes, avoiding pressure and discomfort even when feet and ankles are swollen.

NO-SHOW SOCKS
The no-show sock is a very popular type of sock that suits different situations and comes in various shapes, compositions, and models. A common feature of some no-show socks is the presence of a silicone strip inside, at the heel, to prevent the sock from slipping under the foot during more active movements. This solution helps maintain foot comfort and stability during use. Additionally, to ensure greater grip, some models of no-show socks include an unsewn anti-slip border. This detail allows the sock to stay firmly in place, even during more intense activities. No-show socks also differ in fabric composition. Some models are made of mercerized cotton, thin and lightweight, ideal for warmer times of the year. Other no-show socks are made with combed cotton or terry cloth, more resistant materials suitable for sports activities and situations requiring greater support and durability. To choose the best no-show sock for your needs, it's important to consider various factors such as climate, the activities you’ll engage in, and personal preferences in terms of comfort and style.
