When it comes to daily wardrobe choices, socks are typically left out of the equation. When in fact having comfy and cozy socks can elevate our mood, especially for those of us with chronically cold feet (no pun intended!).

With regular socks, we find that they have holes after just a few wears or can be a bit scratchy, especially if they were made with artificial fabrics. Instead, we deserve comfy and conscious natural socks to keep our toes happy and our skin soothed.

The below brands offer organic cotton, recycled wool, and bamboo socks that are as healthy for your feet as they are for the planet. And if you’re looking for even more comfort, head here for our guide to eco-friendly slippers.
