Where is best to purchase mens black socks? Nothing too fancy or pricey. Just your usual black pair of socks.

    They're not going to get holes easily are they? They need to have a bit of quality to them.

    Planning on sorting out my sock draw this weekend (crazy days), so will be binning my old socks in favour of approx 15-20 sets of a recommended black sock.

    Cheers for the help.

    I have had a batch of Primark socks for over 2 years and they are still doing ok, anyway they are so cheap you could afford to wear a brand new pair everyday and not break the bank:D

    Primark don't tend to get too many holes but some do

    The thicker ones I find tend to 'lose' material as they leave pieces of it all over the floor after a few washes...

    M&S sale hasn't started yet, but they make good quality socks. If and when they start have a look and if they are on sale bulk buy.
    Agree with sobeitjedi, try Asda George and Tesco.
