Sock

Socks are often worn on a person's feet. They absorb sweat and help to keep the foot dry. Socks also give comfort to people's feet and keep them warm in cold weather.

Overview

Socks are usually made of cotton or wool. Some socks can cover only the foot and ankle, and others may be long enough to cover the entire lower leg up to the knee. Toe socks are socks that wrap each toe separate from the others, like gloves but for the feet. Socks are made in many colors. Generally, white socks are worn for everyday or athletic use, and dark socks (black, brown, gray, or navy blue) are worn with business or formal wears. Some dress socks have patterns on them; these are called "argyles."

Phone socks

People often refer to sleeves that cover mobile phones or other device with "socks". These come in many different forms, colorful or plain. Introduced by Apple in 2004, they usually help to protect the device whilst also being a stylish addition.
