Since launching in 1999 as the pioneer in subscription sock delivery, Blacksocks has gained quite a following, racking up more than 600,000 customers in 75 countries who rely on them to deliver fresh pairs of socks straight to their mailbox.

While they've made a name for themselves in solid socks, the company recently announced that they are expanding into striped options, debuting a pair of new styles of sexy striped socks to bring a bit more spark and style to those who prefer to sport fashionable feet.

The striped socks feature thin bands of colors that form a simple and stylish pattern which will help you stand out from the crowd without having to shout. Both fully striped and half-striped options are available.

Made primarily of mercerized cotton—a processed fiber renowned for its luscious sheen and incredible strength—these Business Light socks are silky and highly durable with a wash-resistant sheen. The heels and toes are reinforced with extra strong polyamide fibers, and a touch of LYCRA® is used to give it some stretch. The final product is a smooth, silky and strong sock that will last for years to come.

“These colorful socks are a fun, new way to put your personality on display,” said Samy Liechti, BLACKSOCKS president and founder via a press release. “Stripes are classic, but these exuberant socks will help show your flair for life without being flamboyant.”

BLACKSOCKS’ year-round colors—black, grey, navy and brown—are available by “sockscription”—customers can select the style, quantity and frequency, and the Italian-made socks are conveniently delivered to your doorstep in regular intervals. This innovative online sockscription service also can be used to order fine undershirts, boxer shorts and briefs, and travel shave kits.

Two of Europe’s leading magazines rated Blacksocks as No. 1 in comfort and durability, and former World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz is among its loyal customers. To date, the company has shipped more than three million pairs of socks.
