Sock
Socks are often worn on a person's feet. They absorb sweat and help to keep the foot dry. Socks also keep feet comfortable and warm in cold weather. They are usually made of cotton or wool. Some socks can cover only the foot and ankle. Other kinds may be long enough to cover the entire lower leg up to the knee. Toe socks are socks that wrap each toe separately. Socks come in many different colors. Generally, white socks are worn for everyday or athletic use, and dark socks (black, brown, gray, or navy blue) are worn with business or formal clothes. Argyle socks have a special pattern on them and are usually worn with men's formal clothes.
Phone socks
People often call sleeves that cover phones as 'socks'.[1] These come in many different kinds, colourful or plain. They help to protect the mobile phone while also looking good. Not many people use phone socks anymore but some people still prefer to use them.
