Socks in summer: the detail that makes all the difference

Discover which socks to wear in summer to combine comfort, style and modernity. Our French OEKO-TEX cotton socks are your allies for the summer season.

Summer is coming, temperatures are rising, and the question arises again, as it does every year: socks or no socks?

Some people banish them at the first rays of sunshine, while others swear by them—even in 30°C heat. What if we told you that socks could actually be your best summer ally? Ankle, high, plain, or colorful — there’s a perfect choice for every style.

Forget the idea that socks should always stay hidden. In summer, they can be embraced — or disappear gracefully. Short, thin, and discreet socks are ideal for sneakers: they prevent friction, keep your feet soft, and stay invisible below the ankle. Try our KEN model in ultra-breathable, super-comfy loopback cotton.

On the other hand, high socks make a stronger style statement. Worn with loafers or clogs, they bring a preppy 70s-inspired touch.

Style tip: shorts, loafers, and high socks in natural tones — three details for a look full of personality.

A gesture, a style.

Wearing socks in summer is also a statement of intent. It means rejecting sloppiness and choosing comfort without sacrificing style. It's that little touch that transforms a simple outfit into an attitude — an invisible but essential detail, one that you notice without necessarily seeing it.

Comfort comes from the material

If there's one thing you should remember, it's that it's all in the yarn. At Royalties, our summer socks are made from high-quality OEKO-TEX certified cotton, which is soft, breathable and free from harmful substances. And because elegance and responsibility go hand in hand, we also incorporate recycled cotton into our collections.
We select blends of recycled cotton, organic cotton, recycled polyester and, in winter, recycled wool and recycled cashmere — for socks that are as kind to the planet as they are to your feet.

The art of socks, French style

At Royalties, we design beautiful, unique socks that are built to last, made in France, combining craftsmanship and creativity. The yarns used are the same as those used in your finest jumpers: a guarantee of quality and durability. The result: socks that don't lose their shape or fade, and will accompany you season after season. Final word: in summer, socks are not a necessary evil. They are a combination of style and comfort that you slip on without thinking — and end up not wanting to take off.

At Royalties, they are worn with pride, even in the sunshine.
