Wedding The Best Groomsmen Socks for Every Wedding
Their dogs are barking, and we've found the perfect harnesses. Keep your crew sure-footed and the hounds at bay with our picks for the best groomsmen socks.
Last updated: June 12, 2025Copy Link
We're smack-dab in a sock renaissance, but that doesn't mean loud novelty socks are the right choice for your groomsmen. When choosing groomsmen socks, you should consider both the vibe of your wedding and that of your wedding party.
Below, we've selected our favorite unique groomsmen socks in four different style categories: solids, patterns, novelty, and no-show. But before we get to the picks, let's talk about why you'd even worry about buying your groomsmen socks.
Why buy groomsmen socks?
Uniformity
Consistent groomsmen attire equals great wedding photos. Anything else is a crap shoot.
Quality
When your groomsmen rent suits for your wedding, they may get some "free" socks with their rental, but most of these freebies are a tissue-thin pair that'll keep slithering down your ankles while you dance. That's annoying, and even a small improvement in quality will make your groomsmen very happy.
Novelty
The right pair can create a leg acy—each step taken, a testament to your groomsmen gifting abilities.
Now for the socks.
Solid Groomsmen Socks
Best For: A classic wedding vibe, or a low-key look.
Also Good For: A suit or tux with a pattern.
Winner: Uniqlo
Buy now from Uniqlo ➝
Uniqlo's simple sock comes in every color imaginable. It's got a modest price tag, and it'll dependably cover your lower shin.
Runner-Up: Polo Ralph Lauren Black Ribbed Sock (3-Pack)
Polo Socks at Macy'sBuy now from Macy's (opens in a new tab) ➝
Six pair, so one click and done ( ideally). "Cute logo" says one reviewer, and to be fair there is a horsey on it. This one is just as great as our top pick, but it comes in fewer colors.
Also Great: The Black Tux Dress Sock
Buy now from The Black Tux ➝
We had to make room for at least one old school dress sock in the solids. Getting married is serious business, and it's always refreshing to see the groomsmen attire reflect that.
Patterned Groomsmen Socks
Best For: The groom who wants to see his groomsmen branch out without pushing them too far.
Also Good For: André 3000
Winner: Stance Network
Buy now at Stance ➝
Simple yet bold windowpane design. This is a power sock if ever such a thing existed. I own a pair of Stance socks and they're still truckin' four years later.
Runner-Up: Happy Socks Scissors
Buy now at Happy Socks ➝
It's an unusual motif, but used in a low key way—you'll find plenty in this vein at Happy Socks.
Also Great: Gucci Pattern
Buy now at Gucci ➝
High dollar sockage, but in case you forgot, it's your wedding. This is why America invented credit cards.
Also Great: Uniqlo Dotted Socks
Buy now at Uniqlo ➝
The budget is real, but so is the supima cotton you elegant groom, you.
Novelty Groomsmen Socks
Best For: Adding to the wedding theme.
Also Good For: Making each groomsman feel individual and appreciated
For Vintage Weddings: doublesoul Pattern Socks
Buy now at doublesoul ➝
Every pattern from doublesoul should be considered when you're planning to put your groomsmen in [loafers](/content/collections/shoes/products/larson-weejuns-dark-brown-loafer "Shop G.H. Bass Larson Weejuns Loafers in Dark Brown at The Black Tux"/index.html). Not convinced? Let me introduce you to my friend, David Letterman.
Best for Beach Weddings: Stance Monte Verde
Buy now at Stance ➝
Groomsmen tested, botanist approved. These are the company's best-sellers for a reason.
Best for Hippies: Phillip Huang Tie Dye Crew
Buy now at Philip Huang ➝
Vibes, that is all.
Best for a Gift: Nice Laundry Monogrammed 3-Pack
Buy now at Nice Laundry ➝
In some cases, the perfect [groomsmen gift](/content/blogs/wedding/groomsmen-gift-ideas-2025 "Find the Best Groomsmen Gift Ideas for 2025 on The Black Tux Blog"/index.html). I mean, if you have your socks monogrammed, I'm pretty sure you can teach at a college.
Best for Outdoorsy Groomsmen: Patagonia Merino Performance Crew
Buy now at Patagonia ➝
The first rule of backpacking is any given item should have multiple uses—for example, groomsmen socks / hiking socks. These wool shin shelters will keep their feet drier than any pair of cotton socks, and could actually reduce dancing blisters.
No-Show Groomsmen Socks
Best For: Loafers or slip-on shoes in warm weather.
Also Good For: The groomsmen who doesn't show up.
Tie: Bombas Cushioned No-Show (4-Pack)
Buy now at Bombas ➝
About the same price as the Stance no-shows below, and about as awesome, too. Cushioned socks are the future we all deserve.
Tie: Stance Gamut2 3-Pack
Buy now at Stance ➝
"These socks have arch supports" is something your groomspeople could say to a potential amorous partner at your wedding, instantly generating years of really good gossip.
Also Good: Uniqlo Low Cut
Buy now at Uniqlo ➝
They really hit the price-to-quality ratio nicely, unlike my writing-to-quality ratio. They don't coddle you with cushion the way the other two picks do, but they'll do the job admirably.
Best Sources for Groomsmen Socks
We've barely pulled at the thread of all the groomsmen sock options out there, but we obviously didn't try to hide the love for our favorite suppliers, either. These are the most reliable brands for covering your wedding party's tootsies:
The Black Tux
Don't have a lot of time to click links and obsess over the details? No problem. [Our socks](/content/collections/dress-socks "Shop Premium Dress Socks for Groomsmen at The Black Tux"/index.html) are made with a breathable feel and just enough stretch to stay on in a variety of patterns and colors.
Uniqlo
Honest socks that work, in honest colors, at very honest prices. Plenty of variety, but not where you go to get too crazy.
Stance
Does a really great job unique novelty socks and slightly more serious foot-covers.
Happy Socks
Recognizable things that you'd never expect to see designed into a sock pattern.
Better Groomsmen Suits
Honestly, if you just let the chips fall where they may and skip buying your groomsmen socks, that's fine. You can't control every detail of your wedding, so if you have to choose, it's best to focus your attention on the important, big-impact things, like the groomsmen suit or tuxedo.
That's why we make it simple to outfit your wedding party. Our suits are designed with the best materials for a better fit, and whether you and your crew visit one of [our showrooms](/content/pages/showrooms "Visit The Black Tux Showroom"/index.html) to get fitted or not, we'll make sure everyone finds their sizes.
