Silk socks
Forget cotton socks, which are vulnerable to snags and holes forming, and instead treat yourself to an elegant pair of silk socks. Because silk is so durable, it will last a long time, and you'll feel fabulous wearing them. Silk can act as an insulator as well, so when the temperature plummets, a pair of silk socks can really keep your feet warm.
