Athletique Classique — striped crew socks in organic cotton for sneakers and loafers

The Clean Stripes pattern is available in six colourways on a clear white ground: New Blue, Black, Forest Green, Grass Green, Red Moon, and Henri Blue. Available individually or as curated packs. Hand-linked toe seam. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Designed in Copenhagen, crafted in Istanbul. Available in EU 41–46, with selected colourways in EU 36–40 — size guide.
FAQ
What socks go with white sneakers?
A white crew sock with a coloured stripe, like the Athletique Classique Clean Stripes, is the classic match for white sneakers because it is meant to be seen at the calf. More pairings in our guide to socks with sneakers.
Can I wear crew socks with loafers?
Yes — a visible crew sock with loafers is a deliberate, casual look, and the Athletique Classique is designed for exactly that. Choose a stripe colour that picks up something else in your outfit.

What colours do Clean Stripes come in?

How do I keep white socks white?
Wash them inside out at 30°C, air dry and avoid the tumble dryer. See the sock care guide for more.
