Right, if you’re after socks that actually have a bit of personality without being too 'out there', these Manchester ones from Burlington are spot on. That classic argyle pattern in grey and green, with those crisp white accents, just works with pretty much everything. You can definitely rock them with your smart work trousers or just throw them on with some weekend jeans. They're made from mercerised organic cotton, which basically means they feel incredibly soft against your skin – none of that scratchy business. There’s a tiny bit of polyamide mixed in there too, so they’ll keep their shape and last a good while, which is always a bonus. Plus, Burlington's gone for a sustainable material, which is pretty decent, isn't it? You’ll spot the iconic Burlington clip and they’ve got a comfy inlaid knit, so they feel good on your feet all day. Honestly, they’re just a solid choice for adding a subtle bit of flair to your day-to-day outfits.
