I'm looking for socks that don't get holes just by looking at them (beehaw.org)

The best simple black business socks that don’t show the first gaps and then holes after a few weeks are…? Help me out here, please. I’m still desperate. Everything I buy is rubbish.

I'd recommend Merino wool. Durable stuff. Warm in the cold, cool and sweat-wicking in the heat, and insulates when wet. If you're going through socks that quick, you might check Darn Tough (not affiliated and haven't tried them personally but probably will after finding them just now). They have a pretty incredibly looking guarantee. https://darntough.com/pages/our-unconditional-lifetime-guarantee

Love Darn Tough socks, would definitely recommend them! I haven’t had the chance to use their guarantee yet because my socks have held up well, but I’ve heard good things and that they actually do honor it!

+1 on darn tough. Only socks I own that I dont destroy in a week
