It's everywhere! Crew socks conquer the gym.

Recently, tennis socks have been gaining popularity and this trend hasn't left the gyms completely untouched. From eye-catching colors to wild patterns, long sports socks are the latest trend in the world of fitness. And there are good reasons why everyone - man or woman, young or old - should wear colorful and eye-catching crew socks.

Why should your crew socks be long and flashy anyway? Well, apart from the fact that they just look cool, there are definitely a few more quite practical reasons.

Sometimes everyone skips leg day once in a while. But even fans of thick calves, can now visually cheat a little, since crew socks make the calves look thicker. Even a British study could prove that men in long sport socks look more attractive to women than men who wore only ankle socks. But there is no accounting for taste, and in the end you can decide for yourself how much you want to trust our British friends when it comes to fashion.

Meanwhile, the trend of crew socks in the gym has fully arrived at the female gender. Why? Some say that crew socks highlight the legs or even the butt, and others think that crew socks simply make women look younger. Whatever it may be, apparently the female sex is no longer imaginable without crew socks and they often come multi-colored over the sport leggings.

But besides the look, there are of course also purely functional reasons to wear crew socks during sports and in the gym. Due to their height, they offer additional protection against bruises and scratches that can be caused by friction or any kind of impact while exercising. In addition, the cotton from which mostly crew socks are made of can absorb quite a lot of sweat, so the sports shoes stay fresh longer.

And did you know that wearing colorful, eye-catching socks emphasizes creativity as well as self-confidence? Studies have shown that people who wear colorful sports socks are more likely to be perceived as outgoing and adventurous than people who wear ankle socks.

And who knows, maybe your fancy tennis socks will tip the scales for your next gym romance. But you decide that all by yourself!
