The London Sock Company, a brand favoured by Pierce Brosnan and other celebrities, has earned glowing reviews from shoppers who call its socks the 'best around'. The brand's finely knitted, hand-finished socks are designed to sit perfectly mid-calf and avoid slipping down, using a signature stretch-fit cotton blend.
Celebrity fans and popular collections
Pierce Brosnan's stylist, Mark Holmes, often dresses the actor in The London Sock Company socks for events. Last summer, Brosnan wore the brand's French Blue socks with a navy suit on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Shoppers can buy the same pair in the Dash of Class Navy six-pair box, priced at £98, which works out at £16.30 per pair.
Other famous fans include Chris Evans, Barry Keoghan, Jude Law, Ryan Reynolds and Sebastian Stan, according to the brand. The Dash of Class Black Collection, also £98, features the Ebony Black design worn by Russell Crowe, while the French Blue style worn by John Lithgow is in the Dash of Class Navy Collection. For those preferring colour, the Simply Pastel Trainer 6-Pair Box costs £76, and new customers can try the Simply Sartorial Socks at £16.
Customer reviews praise quality and durability
Customer feedback on Trustpilot is overwhelmingly positive, with 86% five-star ratings. One customer said: "Consistently superior product. Look great, wash great and durable." Another added: "Simple and elegant. Great colours. Great fit, slide right on with little effort. They maintain their shape after countless washings." A third enthused: "Best socks around."
One shopper revealed they chose the brand for their wedding, saying: "My order was delivered in a very timely manner. The quality is top notch and I didn't want to wear any other brand of sock for my wedding." However, one reviewer noted the price was a little high, commenting: "Great socks, made in Europe. Just the price is a little bit high."
Brand ethos and alternatives
The London Sock Company designs its socks in London and manufactures them in Portugal, claiming they are the 'key to walking brighter'. Founders Ryan and Dave believe that 'socks may be a little thing, but they have the power to make a big difference.' The brand also works with London charity Suited and Booted to help dress vulnerable men for job interviews.
For alternatives, Selfridges stocks the Paul Smith 3-pack cotton blend socks at £70, while Falke offers the No. 6 Finest Merino and Silk Men Sock at £47, with personalisation available for an extra £5.
