Have you prepared your socks at home? Do you want to say that, needless to say, you have already bought a dozen pure cotton socks? However… after wearing socks for so many years and buying them for so many years, you have all made a mistake!? Tips for selecting socks correctly.
Cotton socks are uncomfortable
For socks, cotton is the most mainstream fabric. Generally speaking, the better cotton yarn is used, the more comfortable the socks will be. But here we need to dispel a common misconception – “pure cotton” may not necessarily be really good!
If someone sells you socks that claim to be 100% cotton, they are 100% not fitting. If it contains 100% cotton, then this pair of socks is cotton. Socks with a cotton content of over 75% can usually be called all cotton socks, while socks with a cotton content of 85% are considered very high-end cotton socks.
The disadvantages of pure cotton fabric are that it is not resistant to sunlight, is prone to yellowing, poor elasticity, wrinkling, mold and deterioration, and has wear resistance. Natural cotton yarn has poor elasticity, so it is necessary to blend a certain proportion of polyester fiber (such as spandex) in order to make socks comfortable to wear and not easily worn out.
Spandex, commonly known as elastic fiber, has high elasticity and strong stretchability. Its stretching length can reach 5-7 times that of the original fiber, and textile products added with spandex can maintain the original contour. The composition of socks must contain spandex to make them elastic and retractable, making them easier to wear and more snug to the feet, just like a swimsuit that can tightly wrap around the feet without slipping.

How to make a purchase
Choose a good brand
There are many socks on the market at present, so you should choose a well-known brand. Because well-known brands have strict regulations on production materials, processes, and other aspects, as well as high inspection standards, quality can be guaranteed. The socks produced by Zhang Weichao Socks Industry have always been of good quality and have won a large number of consumer reviews. When buying socks, choose Zhang Weichao.
Choose a good texture
Socks are like underwear, and socks woven with different textures give a different feeling when worn, and the prices also vary greatly. Of course, the choice of socks also varies from person to person, and the material selection is determined by temperature and personal preferences.
Look at the quality
The six words “tight, loose, large, smooth, neat, and clear” can be used to summarize, that is, the sock mouth and sock tube should be tight, the sock sole should be loose, the heel of the sock should be large, the surface of the sock should be smooth, the collar should be flat and not crooked, the needle pattern organization should be clear, and there should be no exposed needles in the pattern, sock tip, and sock heel. Silk stockings should also be checked for smoothness on the surface. High quality silk stockings should not have exposed thread ends to prevent threading.
Look at the thickness
When purchasing stockings, you will find that there is always a letter “D” on the packaging bag, which is the abbreviation of Denier, representing the thickness of the stockings. Generally speaking, 40D~60D are spring and autumn socks, and 60D and above are winter socks; In summer, the D value of stockings is generally below 20, and 5D is ultra-thin stockings.
At present, there is a thick and warm velvet stockings for winter use, with a D value of over 1600. In fact, this type of stockings is already similar to autumn pants. But if stockings contain Lycra material, it only takes 25D to replace autumn pants in winter. These stockings are more snug, comfortable, and lightweight than autumn pants, showcasing a beautiful curve.
