Mundo Unico Executive Socks: a Men’s Clothing Review
January 9, 2012 | 
Author As someone who wears a business suit every day, it’s important that I find comfortable socks that stay up, don’t stink after a days’ wearing, and look stylish. The Mundo Unico Executive Socks met my requirements quite nicely.
While Mundo Unico is best know for their awesome underwear, as attested by my Mundo Unico reviews, they also make many other fine products, including socks.
The Mundo Unico Executive Socks comes in black, blue, and grey. The material used in these socks is a blend of 65% cotton 34% polyamide 1% Spandex. This combination is done is a fine rib and met my material needs. The blend of cotton and plyamide gives the socks a nice soft silky look and feel, allows for wicking of sweat, and stayed up nicely without have to pull them up once and without being too tight.

Equmen Precision Sock Review
As the CEO of a small non-profit, I’m constantly wearing business suits – and with that, dress socks. When I first received my pair of Equmen Precision Socks, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Are these going to be for sport, dress, casual, traveling, or what?? The answer to all of these questions was an astounding, YES!
Equmen, who’ve I’ve previously reviewed and love, have recently come out with their line of socks utilizing their amazing helix-mapping technology. I originally feared that a pair of compression socks would feel like old-man support hose – boy, was I wrong!
The socks are knee-highs, which are taller than I typically wear, in order to provide maximum circulation. While these are taller than typically wear, I found these to be incredibly comfortable. I wore these socks as both dress socks, but also for sport.
As dress socks, I found these socks really enhanced the circulation in my legs. I often sit in long meetings and my legs begin
to get achy and restless. Surprisingly, I didn’t have any of that with these socks. The socks are a close fit on your calves, but are a bit more relaxed (and cushioned) on your feet. While they’re a close fit on your calves, it’s a comfortable, even feeling which creates the increased blood flow in your legs. The socks do have ribbing along the arch of the foot which did help with overall support and comfort – very similar to some of my sports socks.
While you’re not going to win any fashion awards with these socks, nobody’s going to call the fashion police either. Available in standard black (what I tried) or grey, they’re fairly fashion neutral. Perhaps as these socks take off, they’ll be able to add a bit more flair and style to the look.
For sport, I was equally in love with these socks. As a skier, I often wear sports socks to aid in leg fatigue, moisture wicking, temperature control – as well as odor control. The Equmen Precision Socks performed fantastically in each of these areas. Combined with my Equmen underwear and undershirt, I was a happy camper- I mean skier. 
Priced at $29.99 USD, that’s a bit more than I’d typically pay for a pair of socks. When you account for the type of sock you’re purchasing and the benefits you’ll receive, they’re easily worth the price.
Where to Buy:
Overall Rating ★★★★★

HOM Fil d’ Ecosse Socks – A Mens Clothing Review
Key items of my wardrobe, beyond the suit, are finding comfortable underwear, undershirts that stay tucked, fitted dress shirts, and socks that don’t fall down or make my feet sweat. For socks, I often wear CK, GoldToe, Tommy, and a few others. While I’ve reviewed other HOM products, this pair of HOM socks are the first I’ve tried from HOM and were sent to me by my friends at Dead Good Undies.
The HOM Fil d’Ecosse are unlike any socks I own. The socks are incredibly smooth with a bit of a sheen to them and are just a tad sheer. Made from a blend of 94% Cotton and 6% Elastane, the socks were comfortable and stayed up (I hate having to repeatedly pull my socks up). I found the socks to fit my feet well and were breathable (didn’t make my feet stink). The socks come in a one-size style that are to fit feet that are a UK 6-10 or EU 40-45. I wear a size 11-1.5 US (depending on the shoe) and found these to fit my feet well.
The HOM Fil d’Ecosse are availabe in Black (the color I tried) or Navy and just above the ankle there is a small grey HOM logo. I can easily recommend these HOM dress socks to you and are now one of my favorite pairs of socks. The socks are £9.36 (aprx US $13.93) for one pair or £23.83 (aprx US $35.47) for a 3-pack. While they are a bit more expensive than a standard pair of socks, these are certainly a quality dress sock and are a value for the price paid. Check out Dead Good Undies for more colors and styles – including the unique Asymmetrical pair from HOM.
