Le Bon Shoppe Boyfriend Sock in Cardinal Burgundy

A flash of burgundy at the ankle. Tiny detail, disproportionately good effect.

The Le Bon Shoppe Boyfriend Socks in Cardinal Burgundy are women’s crew socks with a relaxed, slightly sporty shape and a rich deep-red colour that brings just enough interest to everyday outfits. Wear them pulled up, let them slouch a little, and most importantly — let them show.

Cardinal Burgundy is one of those colours that behaves remarkably well with the rest of your wardrobe. Denim, grey, navy, brown, cream, black — everyone’s getting along beautifully.

Why they made the cut

• Cardinal Burgundy adds colour without requiring a personality transplant.
• The relaxed boyfriend shape gives them that perfectly casual, borrowed feel.
• Brilliant with trainers, loafers and chunky shoes.
• An easy little update for jeans and trousers you already own.
• Burgundy looks particularly fabulous against grey, denim and chocolate brown.
• Considerably cheaper than buying an entirely new outfit. You’re welcome.

How we’d wear them

Blue barrel-leg jeans, burgundy socks and loafers. Add a white tee and oversized blazer and leave the socks visible — that’s the point.

We also love them peeking out beneath charcoal tailored trousers with black loafers, or with cream denim and brown suede trainers.

Can you wear burgundy socks with brown? Please do. Chocolate brown and deep burgundy are exceptionally good together. Add cream or denim and you’ve got a whole colour palette without really trying.

And no, you don’t need a burgundy jumper, bag and belt to match. One burgundy sock-related decision is quite enough.

Care

Wash gently with similar colours and avoid tumble drying where possible. Particularly sensible with a rich colour like Cardinal Burgundy.
