(And hopefully, they won’t go missing after the first wash.) Below, shop the 30 best socks for women available right now.

Best Athletic Socks
Haven’t replaced your collection of performance socks since college? It’s a great time to invest in some new pairs. Low-cut options make comfy walking and running socks, especially when they have cushioned heel tabs like the ones below. Merino wool is an ideal material for hiking socks, since it has anti-odor properties and impressive moisture control. And some of these pairs even have built-in arch support and grippy soles that are great for yoga and Pilates.
Best No-Show Socks
No-shows may be an essential part of your getting-dressed routine, but let’s be real—most snug-fit socks don’t actually live up to their name. But don’t worry: We tracked down six stellar pairs, from Nike’s spandex-cotton blend multipack to Madewell’s sporty, bunching-resistant pair. And if you’d prefer socks that still show a little personality, Kitsch’s printed two-pack below proves that even no-shows can be fun.
Best Cozy Socks
Show your feet (and your sock drawer) some love with these beyond-cozy socks that won’t fall apart after you wear them once. Cold weather is no match for these cashmere and cotton socks that’ll warm your toes without sacrificing breathability. They’re legit treats for feet—and they also happen to make great gifts for women.
