I'm just happy to end up wearing a "pair" that are somewhat similar.

I'm amazed no-one has mentioned their 'lucky socks'?!
At home I'm not too concerned and will wear the length/thickness which suits the current weather and the boots I'm wearing that day.
At a competition I have to wear pink socks when I'm riding the mare and blue socks when I'm riding the gelding. Yes it is a nightmare if I take them both to the same competition. (I know.... No comments are required thank you...

M_M - I am highly amused and would never have had you down for the lucky/superstitious type!
What happens if you do not have the correctly corresponding socks?

I know, I know - and I'm not at all superstitious - other than this sock thing
I have lots of pairs of pink and blue socks so I'm generally fine. I do, however, keep spares in the lorry just in case.......

I like v bright/colourful socks. Preferably patterned and they must be knee-high. Mostly I like them bright so that there will be no confusion in my household as to whom they belong and no one will be inclined to pinch them.

I think you need to buy purple socks it sounds like it would be less stressful?

Knee length, grey or brightly coloured any pattern as long as its in good colours
My lucky socks are grey with white and black stripes pretty full I'd say!

I bought these bamboo socks a while ago which are amazing and have lasted ages. They're by elle I think.
My socks normally wear through at an alarming rate because I have stupidly pointy feet and constantly cold toes so wear them non-stop.
Colours - for me, the brighter the better. Red, pink, green, blue, purple etc. I am a massive fan of stripes or silly designs and the like. Even have ones with pigs and bees and cartoons on them!

I'm known as the instructor with the bright socks! Long, stripey, stars etc and BRIGHT! I have cool horse socks at present. They wear well, are warm for the foot but not too bulky up the leg.

My favourite riding socks are from Primark and cost ONE WHOLE POUND!!!!!!
They are black with a grey horse design on the ankle part and come up to just below the calf. Long enough to avoid getting cold ankles/rubs but not long enough to cause problems fastening long boots or chaps over my calf muscle. Have a design so I can pair them easily but not too loud.
I like a design on my socks so that I can paid them up easily, but that might just be a logo or a colour on the top cuff or the toe section if they might be seen with non-riding clothes. I particularly like argyle socks though, and for non-riding wear I like Pringle socks, my favourites are black with pin spots in various colours.

Another vote for colourful socks here (really like stripes!) - I prefer long stocks for riding and they must be comfortable and warm. I have small feet and struggle to find ones that fit well. Good luck with the venture!
