Sock Care Guide – How to Make Your Socks Last Longer
To keep your socks comfortable, durable, and looking new for as long as possible, follow these simple care tips.
1. Wash Socks Inside Out
Always turn socks inside out before washing. This helps remove sweat, bacteria, and skin particles while protecting the outer fabric and colors.
2. Wash at Low Temperature
Wash socks at 30–40°C (86–104°F). Lower temperatures protect cotton fibers and elastic threads, helping socks keep their shape and durability.
3. Wash Before First Wear
New socks should be washed before the first use. This removes production residues and allows the fibers to soften and settle naturally.
4. Avoid Tumble Drying
Whenever possible, air dry your socks. High heat from tumble dryers can weaken elastic fibers and shorten the lifespan of your socks.
5. Wash with Similar Colors
To maintain vibrant colors:
-
wash dark socks with dark clothing
-
wash white socks separately
-
wash bright colors with similar shades
6. Do Not Overload the Washing Machine
Avoid overloading your washing machine. Giving socks enough space reduces friction and prevents unnecessary fabric wear.
7. Store Socks Properly
Fold socks together instead of stretching them into tight balls. This helps preserve the elasticity and shape of the sock.

Athletique Classique Clean Stripes — Clear White / Navy
Navy on white is the classic crew sock stripe — the one that has been on tennis players, loafer wearers, and anyone with a considered casual wardrobe for the better part of sixty years. It is the most versatile of the six Clean Stripes colourways: cool enough to read as formal-adjacent, clean enough to go with everything, and rooted in a heritage that requires no explanation. The foundation stripe. 82% organic combed cotton, 200-needle heavy-rib knit, OEKO-TEX certified. Designed in Copenhagen.
Colour & Styling
Navy on white is the stripe that started the Athletique Classique aesthetic — the reference to classic European tennis socks, to Wimbledon prep, to the particular kind of considered sport style that belongs equally in a locker room and at a Sunday lunch. It is cooler and more contained than Henri Blue, darker and more formal than any of the coloured stripe options, and cleaner in its graphic weight than black on white. The most versatile stripe in the range by the widest margin.
Best footwear:
- White leather sneakers — the white ground connects; the navy stripe reads as considered and clean above — see sneaker guide →
- Penny loafers and horsebit loafers — navy on white is the classic loafer sock — see loafer guide →
- Chunky sneakers (New Balance 990, ASICS, Salomon)
- Classic court shoes (Adidas Stan Smith, Onitsuka Tiger)
- Tan suede Chelsea and chukka boots — see boots guide →
Best trousers: Dark indigo denim · White and off-white chinos · Navy trousers · Beige and camel chinos · Cropped tailored trousers · Shorts · Grey wool in smart casual contexts
How Navy differs from Henri Blue in the Clean Stripes range:
Henri Blue is lighter, warmer, and more vivid — the sport-heritage blue. Navy is darker, cooler, and more contained — the classic stripe. Henri Blue is in the vivid 3-pack; Navy is in the restrained 3-pack.
About the Colour Name — "New Blue"
The product SKU name is "New Blue" — an internal Democratique colour reference for a clean, classic navy. In editorial copy and across the pack descriptions, this colourway is simply called Navy, which is the most accurate description of the tone: a traditional dark blue, cool in character, the foundational blue of the Clean Stripes range.
It is distinct from Henri Blue (lighter, warmer, sport-heritage mid-blue) and from the Fine Rib solid Navy (thinner dress sock, different construction and occasion entirely).
