A pair of socks worn on the feet. Emoji

Objects

A pair of comfortable, crew-length socks, typically depicted in bright colors like blue, red, or orange with stripes. These represent the everyday garment worn inside shoes for warmth and hygiene.

Usage Context

Used in casual conversation when talking about doing laundry, getting cozy at home, or preparing for cold weather. It is a frequent go-to emoji when discussing comfort, outfits, or the classic dilemma of losing one of your socks in the dryer. It pairs well with 👟 or ❄️.

History

The sock emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2017 as part of Emoji 5.0. It was created to fill a gap in clothing-related icons, moving away from formal attire like 👔 to focus on everyday domestic life and leisure.
