I Found the Elusive "Cool Socks" All the Trendy Kids Are Wearing

Hanes Women Ultimate Comfort Toe Seamed Ankle Socks ($9-$18)

I know these are called ankle socks, but they're not — they're quarter socks. These have been my go-tos for a better part of the year, and I love them because they hit at the right height, they don't sag or twist throughout the day, they're not too thick or too thin, and they're an affordable price point. They've also held up great to frequent wear, without developing holes — but my frequent (and not-at-all-careful) washing has led to some pilling and dinginess.
