These over-the-calf linen socks are made in Italy with a small amount of lycra for added performance. The hand-linked toes ensure optimal wearing comfort.

Simon's take: So few men make the effort to harmonise their trousers and socks. In summer this is particularly noticeable, as more pale trousers are worn with the same tired (and dark) sock colours. Beige will be very useful, with beige or tan trousers and everything lighter.  (see all of Simon Crompton's picks here)
