Does anyone know where to buy normal thin socks from an EU company?
All i saw in comments here were “funny” full colour socks and thick wool socks. But all i want is normal black socks. Best if they are without a seam.
If anyone also knows Thigh Highs from EU pleaaassseeee let me know too!!
Thanks in advance
Edit: Noticed you asked for thigh high socks. These manufacturers probably don’t have any but I’ll leave the comment up in case someone else finds it useful.
If you’re asking for dress socks or something in that direction there are tons of brands.
On the “budget but quality” end I recommend Viccel although they’re from Turkey so not strictly EU.

On the more expensive end of the spectrum there is:

Then there’s Bexley, a cheap French store that used to sell shoes online and has since then expanded into other areas as well. Products weren’t necessarily top quality but they had a few notable shoe models that became popular for being decently priced/made back in the day. If you need “normally” priced socks that are over the calf they have them. They are made in China though so not exactly what we’re here for, but given the company is European maybe it’s an option if nothing else works out.
And lastly there’s Suitsupply from the Netherlands (socks made in Italy). They at least sometimes sell over-the-calf socks but their socks and products in general were never really good quality and they’ve gone down hill from there over the years. They are cheap though and made in Europe so I thought I’d mention them too.
Hope you find what you’re looking for!
I see, you work in IT
Just because want thigh highs, doesnt mean i work in IT. I mean, work in IT. But not because i want tigh highs!
There’s also Ukrainian https://dodosocks.com/en/holovna/
While I like these, I definitely wouldn’t call them “plain black, not colorful socks”
oh i totally overlooked the “normal” part of the request. My bad!
Suva is an Estonian company manufacturing all kinds and lengths of socks, both wintery options and summery in all colours. Brief check said that delivery to Netherlands is fixed €11 so bulk will be cheaper. Suva leggings have been my winter staple for years and the socks I have from them have lasted for years as well.
From France, I love Loom! https://www.loom.fr/collections/chaussettes-hommes
They’re a bit expensive but in my experience they actually manage to design clothes that hold for long. I think they actually do some durability tests and try to optimise based on it.
I can recomend www.falke.com and www.schiesser.com. Falke is a bit more expensive. For Standard I prefer Schiesser (5 pairs for 20 EUR)
Falke socks are great, especially for running!

Some of these are made in Finland. I can recommend the light merino wool socks. The non-light are quite thick so if you want something for cold weathers, they work well.
They tend to shrink a bit even if you wash them correctly in low temperatures. My shoe size is 42, but the 43-45 size socks work well for me.

These are my go-to’s. They aren’t thigh-highs, but are pretty tall.
And there’s a sale on!
I don’t know about European manufactured, but the kind of socks your describing - normal black socks, without a seam - in Germany are called “Kellner socken” - waiter socks. Light, seamless, comfy usually black tie socks, not too expensive.
From any European fashion brand? Though most of them are made in South East Asia and not in Europe.
You could checkout brands on https://www.grundstoff.net/ or https://www.avocadostore.de/ . If you are adventurous experiment with wiljd socks (wearing them right now): https://www.wijld.com/
Am I correct that these are all germany only? These are the only well priced sites I can find in the comment section here but if I can’t get them delivered in the Netherlands my search will have to go on 🥲
The ones I searched specifically: yes, as OP seemed to have a german user name. I can spin up another search, but before I would recommend you to take a look at varusteleka.com (Finland) I love their store and their rock solid Särmä brand.
I’ve seen those in the comments already but those prices are just too high imo
The merino socks?
The socks from http://varusteleka.com/
A majority is made out of merino wool, which is always expensive. If you see that material, it is no “regular” cheap sock.
20 € for one pair. I will be bankrupt
I wanted to mention Falke, but unfortunately those are even more expensive. Probably not a great choice for you, but maybe someone else will be interested, so I’ll mention it anyway. Their selection goes up to knee-high.
