When choosing a gift for a man, many immediately remember about socks. Indeed, this is a rather relevant and necessary gift, because socks wear out quickly, often lose their pair, and are erased to the point of holes. And although socks are often bought and donated not only for the holidays, they should not only be handed over, but also packaged in an original way.

Is it appropriate to give?
Which of the men is unfamiliar with the problem of leaky socks, which, moreover, are constantly losing their "brothers". Women try to make sure that their halves always have a new pair in their arsenal. To do this, they have to buy them and give them to their men. Most often, this is not the most expensive thing that is given to men, so it is worth not only purchasing and presenting them, but also interestingly styling them in order to present them in an original way. It is important not only to give a present, but to surprise the young man.

Nuances of choice
When choosing this essential wardrobe item for men, one should not forget that an incorrectly selected pair can ruin the appearance and lead to skin diseases on the legs. You should carefully study the composition of the product, know the correct foot size. The material from which the socks are made is very important, because they often have to be in them throughout the whole working day, without being able to change or take them off. Products should absorb excess moisture and allow the skin on the legs to "breathe". Particular attention should be paid to the strength of the material, because this affects the wear resistance of the product.
Most often, cotton is used as the main material. Wool and polyamide are equally popular materials. Less commonly, silk products can be found. Although they look very elegant, they are rather impractical and expensive. For greater wear resistance, polyamide or nylon can be added to the composition. This does not particularly affect the price and properties of the product, but it significantly increases the service life.
