Pantherella
Pantherella has been making fine-gauge socks in Leicester since 1937. The toe seam is linked by hand, so nothing rubs across the top of your foot, and the heels and toes are reinforced, so a pair lasts. Over forty styles at King Fox Menswear, from plain dress socks and invisible liners to flecks and fair isle, in sizes 7.5 to 9.5 and 10 to 12.

Pantherella styles explained
Each Pantherella design has a name rather than a number, which makes it easier to come back for the same pair. Seville is the fine plain sock, Monaco the invisible liner that sits below the shoe, and Laburnum and Pembrey the everyday plain and textured options. Thornham and Beck are the flecked designs, Cromford is the ribbed one, and Ambrose and Needham are at the top end of the range. Browse the full socks collection.
Which sock for which occasion?
For a suit or a formal shoe, the fine plain socks in black, navy, grey and white are the safe choice. For boots and heavier trousers through winter, the flecked and fairisle designs give you some pattern without going loud. If you want nothing showing at all above a loafer or a trainer, the Monaco liner is the one.
Sizing
Pantherella is sold in two sizes, 7.5 to 9.5 UK and 10 to 12 UK, so you pick the band your shoe size sits in rather than an exact size. Use the size filter at the top of the page to see what is in stock in yours.

What makes Pantherella socks worth the money?
The toe seam is hand-linked rather than machine-stitched, so there is no ridge rubbing across the top of your foot. Pantherella also uses fine-gauge yarns, which means a thinner, closer-fitting sock that works inside a dress shoe. Heels and toes are reinforced, so the pairs tend to outlast cheaper socks several times over.

Do Pantherella socks make a good gift?
They are one of the easiest gifts in the shop, because sizing is forgiving across two bands and most men do not buy socks at this quality for themselves. The flecked and fair isle styles are the ones people pick for presents. Complimentary gift wrapping is available on most full-price item
