6 Cozy, Lightweight Pairs of Socks That Are Perfect for the Summertime

Just because it's summer doesn't mean you can't wear cozy socks.

For many of us, socks can be a source of comfort because, like blankets, they make us feel like we're getting a warm hug. Unfortunately, socks can lose their appeal during the summer, with the warm weather making us sweat and, in some cases, swell. And who wants to feel sticky and constricted during the summer?

Luckily, there are a few stores that arrived to save the day. Below, find six pairs of socks that are great for the summer season.

Forever 21 Teddy Bear Ankle Socks: $1.57

Over the past decade, Forever 21 has been our go-to for cute socks. They have designs of any animal and character you could imagine, and their thickness ranges from lightweight to fuzzy and cozy. In the summertime, we like to wear the store's ankle socks. They're a great length for the "no-show" appearance and comfortable to wear with any shoe. Besides, you can't beat $1.57.

SKIMS Light Cozy Knit Sock: $8

If you miss thick, plush socks in the winter, you need this Light, Cozy Knit Sock from SKIMS. The brand recently added a new twist to its Cozy line with the inclusion of this innovative, lightweight sock. It's made with polyester and spandex to make the most comfortable blend you could ever imagine, and because they're thin, you don't have to worry about your feet sweating in the hottest months of the year.

 

Target Universal Thread Featherlight Super Soft Ankle Socks: $8

These socks from Target have "Featherlight" in their name, so you know they're perfect for summer. This three-pack is made with a fine gauge knit and non-binding cuffs for maximum comfort and flexibility. This design means they're super wearable during a workout (when your feet will likely be sweating) and breathable for those summer afternoons. One review even called them the "best sleeping socks for warm months."

MeUndies Barbie Crew Sock: $14

MeUndies should receive an award for their extremely soft material. Each item uses a Supima cotton fiber that makes it stretchy and light while maintaining its cuddly feel. These socks, in particular, also have arch support, which can relieve pain on a morning hike (or simply walking around your house barefoot).

This adorable, summery Barbie print arrives just in time for the warm weather and film, so act fast!

 

Vans Pizza Party Canoodle Socks: $14

Vans socks have always been a godsend for the days we didn't want our socks to show at all, which is completely necessary for most of our summer footwear. These are one of the only footie socks that don't slide off our feet while walking, and that's without the irritating ankle pad some socks have. Vans always has cute designs, so these are a subtle way to feel fun without your outfit, even if others can't see it.

We chose mental health care, but they also have socks to benefit animal shelters, LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality and more!
