As the holiday season approaches and suitcases begin to fill with linen shirts, swimwear, and sunglasses, one small detail is often overlooked — socks. Yet the right pair can elevate your holiday wardrobe, keep you comfortable in all climates, and bring a touch of home to every destination.
At Corgi, we believe that dressing well on holiday starts from the ground up. Here’s our guide to the perfect socks to pack for your next getaway — wherever it may take you.
1. Lightweight Cotton for Warm Weather Wandering
Breathable, soft, and ideal for warmer climates, our cotton socks are your best travel companions. Whether you're exploring local markets or strolling along a marina, these socks offer comfort without bulk — and they look effortlessly refined with loafers or lightweight trainers.
Pack tip: Choose neutral tones or soft pastels to pair with relaxed summer tailoring.

2. No-Show & Invisible Socks for Bare-Ankle Looks
For that relaxed, sockless aesthetic without sacrificing comfort, pack a few pairs of our invisible socks. Designed to stay hidden beneath loafers or espadrilles, they wick moisture and prevent rubbing — essential for long, sun-soaked days on your feet.
Pack Tip: Perfect under cropped chinos or tailored shorts.

3. Dress Socks for Elegant Evenings
Resorts often call for a touch of formality in the evening — think dinner at a beachside restaurant or a sunset wedding abroad. Our fine-knit formal socks in mercerised cotton or silk blend offer lightweight sophistication and won’t let you down when the dress code calls for polished shoes and pressed linen.
Pack Tip: Pair navy or black dress socks with tailored trousers and a crisp white shirt for effortless elegance.
4. Cashmere-Luxury for Travel Days
Whether it’s a long-haul flight or a breezy train ride down the coast, nothing says comfort like a pair of our cashmere socks. Lightweight yet indulgent, they’re a must for in-flight comfort or curling up with a book by the villa pool.
Pack Tip: Pack a pair in your carry-on — your feet will thank you at 35,000 feet.
5. A Pop of Pattern for Poolside Personality
Just because it’s holiday doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun. Our patterned socks or colour-block cotton socks add a playful edge to your holiday wardrobe — ideal for travel days or adding flair to evening looks.
Pack Tip: They also make excellent gifts for hosts or travel companions.
