Underwear and socks often go forgotten when it comes to quality. People just don’t realize that this first line of apparel defense are the staple of comfort. Don’t skimp.

That doesn’t mean value isn’t there to be found. These comfortable cotton socks from Tommy Hilfiger are not only comfortable but they work perfectly for work or play. Coming packed in packs of three they’re machine washable.

What this means to you: It doesn’t matter how expensive or nice that shoe you just purchased is. If you’re not wearing them with a pair of good socks then it’s useless, and just a touch unkempt.

Cost: $18-$20 @ Macy’s
