There are many styles of women's socks. Getting a pair of socks that fit properly is not difficult, but finding the right style can be a challenge. A fashionable pair of women's socks can complement an outfit while keeping the feet comfy and cozy. Read on to learn how to buy women's socks.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find the right size of socks. Socks are fitted according to shoe size. Small socks are for women's shoe sizes 3 to 5. Medium small socks are for women's shoe sizes 4 to 7. Women's shoe sizes 6 to 10 should buy a medium sock, and women's shoe sizes 10 to 13 need to get large socks. Any size larger than 13 should buy extra large socks.

  2. Step 2

    Get the right type of sock. Crew socks are best for outdoors, such as with hiking boots. Trouser socks are designed to look sleek with a business pantsuit.

  3. Step 3

    Purchase socks to suit special needs. Support socks help keep circulation moving and prevent varicose veins. There are also many styles of socks for diabetics and others with special needs.

  4. Step 4

    Put on the correct length of socks depending upon the type of footwear. Buy some matching knee-high socks or tights to go with those new boots, and slip into a pair of low no-show socks with loafers and walking shoes. A few pairs of slouch socks add the right note of casualness to any day.

  5. Step 5

    Slip on some funky and fun socks to add a little life to any day. There are many bright and flowery styles of socks for women of all ages. Shop around and find seasonal designs or get several pairs of theme socks to liven up a long work week.

  6. Step 6

    Wear some bed socks to keep cold feet away. Unless they have tread on the bottom, bed socks should really be put on after getting into bed. A good quality pair of angora socks will keep the feet toasty warm all night.
