Another day, another “cringe” style that screams millennial to anyone under the age of 25: no-show socks. Just like jeggings and side parts of the past, Gen Z has declared socks cool again. Look at any fashion star or just random young person on the street and you’ll see noticeable socks, not the bare ankles of the 2010s. Crew socks, ankle socks, scrunched socks — they are all fair game.
Sometimes making an update to your wardrobe is time-consuming and expensive. Socks are easy and mostly affordable. And there are levels to how much sock you can choose to wear. If you’re pro no-show sock, start small with just an inch or so of white coming out of your sneaker or loafer. If you’re a fan of obvious ankle socks like I am, you can go all in with scrunched styles and even some frills.
Keep reading to get in on the ankle socks trend. Trust me, once you start wearing them, you’ll never go back to no-show socks again.
Aritzia Dupes

By far, the most popular ankle socks on TikTok are these from Hue, which influencers swear are the best dupes for the Tna Base Ankle Socks, which are $25 for five. Hue’s are cheaper and have the same perfect ankle length. (I know, I have them!)
Cotton Ankle Socks

Some creators swear NevEND’s socks are even better with the perfect “thick but not too thick” stretchy material. I think I might need to try these, too.
Aritzia Tna Socks

If you want to spend a few more bucks, Aritzia has tons of options, from major scrunch socks that look so cute with sweats to the more sleek Tna Base Socks you can wear every day.
Hanes Ankle Socks

Others swear by the ultra-affordable Hanes Ankle Soft Moisture-Wicking Socks , which are less than $11 for a whopping 10 pairs. They look to be a great starter sock for those just getting comfortable without their no-shows.
Lululemon Socks

With extra cushion over the toes and a thicker texture that holds the shape, Lululemon’s Women’s Daily Stride Comfort Crew Sock has a loyal following. They aren’t cheap but the comfort just might be worth it if you’re doing serious walking.
Alo Socks

The big Alo logo on these socks might not work for all your outfits but for pilates and yoga outfits, they couldn’t be cuter — and more comfortable.
Ruffle Socks

If you prefer something a bit more girly and less sporty, Urban Outfitters’ Ruffle Ankle Socks are perfect. Wear them with low-top sneakers, Mary Janes, and even heels.
Free People Socks

These quarter-crew socks are a little longer than others but just as chic with sneakers, boots, or any other footwear your heart desires. The soft cotton blend and ribbed texture are especially cozy for cooler months.
Bombas Socks

Bombas’ Women’s Quarter Socks are longer than the brand’s ankle socks but shorter than the calf socks, making them perfect for a variety of footwear. They’re also possibly the most comfortable option on the list, with arch support and a Y-stitched heel.
