21 Groomsmen Sock Ideas for Instagrammable Wedding Moments!
What socks a guy wears on his feet is a matter of personal preference. Some guys like plain solid colors while others prefer mushrooms and spaceships to pattern their socks. In any event, no one is going to know what socks a groom or groomsmen are wearing unless they hike up their pant legs and show off some cotton!
With that mental image firmly planted, let’s take a look at why you should consider fun groomsmen socks as a gift for the big day, along with some of our personal favorites.
Wedding Socks To Gift Groomsmen
One of the best parts of the wedding day – apart from marrying your true love – is spending time with your nearest and dearest to celebrate. In particular, what would your day be without your groomsmen? They’re your best mates that’ll stick with you through thick and thin. On the big day, chances are it will be your groomsmen who make sure you don’t get too nervous by having a few laughs.
So how could you thank them for all their support — how about some fun groomsmen socks!?
It may seem a little strange at first, but gifting cool socks to your groomsmen can provide laughter and entertainment. Not to mention a neat photo op. The motto here really is, “the funkier the socks, the better!”
1. Personalized Groomsmen Socks
Go ahead and give your groomsmen some kudos and attaboys. Whether you have the message sewn onto the socks themselves or you provide a special message with the gift, we think this dress sock idea is great! These socks are especially wrapped with whatever you want to put on the packaging – whether a thank you, an inside joke, or the date of the wedding, nothing beats something personal and from the heart!
2. Monogram Groomsmen Socks
If you want to go for something a little more understated, these monogrammed socks for your groomsmen are less about the wedding and more about them. You could even buy a pair for yourself so you’re all matching on the big day.

Should all of the groomsmen have the same funky socks, or a mismatched look?
I think either look works well. Check out a few real weddings to get some ideas of the sock look you like best. I tend to gravitate to order and symmetry, so my personal preference would be to go with sharp looking socks (like argyle) that all match. Paired with well-shined matching shoes, the look is one that you could post on Instagram!
Others prefer solid color socks for their groomsmen, which can equally make a bold statement.
Tip: We don’t need to see any skin. We like to see socks, shoes, and fabric only! 😀
