Something is happening at the hem of your trousers, or rather, just below it. Escuyer ankle socks have become one of our favourite summer accessories. Once the humble staple of gym bags and beach days, the ankle sock is now very much a style choice, for women and men alike.
Ankle Socks Are Trending, for Women and Men
The numbers back it up: global search interest in “ankle socks” peaked at a score of 82 in January 2026, its highest point in years. Meanwhile, 40% of US consumers say they prefer ankle socks over any other sock length. A short sock with a bit of colour at the cuff is exactly what we had in mind when we made ours.
Vintage-Inspired Escuyer Ankle Socks for Women
Escuyer ankle socks for women are knitted at a family-owned factory near Braga, in northern Portugal, by people who have been making socks for generations, from a fine cotton blend that feels soft from the first wear. They are €22 a pair. The Escuyer Women’s Ankle Socks in Ecru / Blue / Orange (€22) are an easy summer favourite. For something with a little more shimmer, the Escuyer Women’s Lurex Ankle Socks in Pink / Bronze (€22) catch the summer light beautifully.

Questions we are asked
Can you wear ankle socks with loafers?
Yes. A short sock that sits just above the loafer collar, in a colour that picks up something else in the outfit, looks deliberate rather than accidental. Keep trousers cropped or cuffed so the line between hem, sock and shoe stays clean.
What is the difference between ankle socks and no-show socks?
Ankle socks sit just above the ankle bone and are meant to be seen; no-show socks sit below the shoe collar and are meant to disappear. Choose ankle socks when you want a flash of colour with loafers, trainers or mules.
What are Lurex socks?
Lurex socks are knitted with a fine metallic yarn running alongside the main fibre, which gives them a soft shimmer. They work best with simple outfits, such as a midi skirt and mules or plain trousers and loafers, where the sheen is the only detail.
What are Escuyer ankle socks made of?
Escuyer ankle socks are 80% cotton, 19% polyamide and 1% elastane, with a hand-linked toe, knitted at a family-owned factory near Braga in northern Portugal. They cost €22 a pair and come in one women's and one men's size.
Escuyer. Considered design, made to last.
