Ministry of SupplyDespite being something you wear every single day, socks are one of the most overlooked wardrobe essentials.

Just like underwear, they're usually only purchased when you absolutely need new ones.

If you're dressing professionally on a daily basis, you're going to need new socks well before you reach the stage where you resort to wearing mismatched or tattered pairs.

While going to the store picking up the cheapest six-pack you can find might seem like the smartest thing to do, it's not. For the longest of time, sock designs have been rudimentary, to say the least. Most pairs of socks are identical, even though your left and right feet aren't, they're made of super thin materials, and they lose shape after a few of wears and washes.

Luckily, Ministry of Supply, a brand known for its radically engineered dress clothes, is bringing much needed innovation to socks with the Smarter Dress Socks.

As the name suggests, a lot intelligence went into creating the Smarter Dress Socks. Designed to perform like gym socks, while fitting the dress code of a corporate office, the socks are both comfortable and business appropriate. The socks are made of recycled polyester, cotton, elastane, and the best part is that they're infused with coffee for odor absorption.

Ministry of Supply sent over some of their coffee-infused dress socks for me to try out, and they're one of the smartest decisions in socks you can make.

Once I learned about the Smarter Dress Socks' S.Café Odor Control technology, my first instinct was to smell them. Fortunately, or unfortunately if you were hoping your feet would smell like Colombian Dark Roast, they don't actually smell like coffee.

My first impression upon putting them on was how comfortable they were. Like a high-quality gym sock, the Smarter Dress Socks are plush and have left and right foot designations. The bottoms use high-pile cushioning, while the toe and midfoot of the sock feature targeted ventilated zones for cool, dry feet.

Most other dress socks are super thin, bunch up at the toes or heel, and are tight on the leg. At the same time, if you wash them a few times, the shape and elasticity is compromised. I didn't experience any of that with these socks. They add much needed comfort if your dress shoes aren't as forgiving as sneakers and don't restrict your legs. After a full day of wearing, my feet were dry and the socks didn't smell at all. The S.Café Odor Control fabric wicked moisture away from my feet and absorbed any odor.

While other dress socks come off your feet sweaty and smelly, immediately bound for the hamper, the Smarter Dress Socks really could be worn again if you were in a jam.

If you're in search of comfortable socks that will complement your professional wardrobe, make a smart decision and buy the Ministry of Supply Smarter Dress Socks.
