===== 🧠 What Redditors say to look out for (and avoid) =====
* Some users specifically wanted “thick, loose socks I can just slide my into”. One wrote: > “The best I’ve found is the cozy slouch socks from Sock Dreams … I can scrunch my toes every way without feeling contained by the socks.”  > Reddit >  > That’s exactly the “lounging” feel you want — lots of room, no tight compressive fit.
* Another thread: > “I like the cozy socks from Eddie Bauer. They are soft and fuzzy in the inside but have a grippy sock texture on the outside/bottom of the foot.”  > Reddit >  > So softness + a bit of grip/texture can help if you walk around the house.
* Some caution: Many “high-performance/ hiking” and heavy wool brands are too tight/structured for lounging. As one user notes: > “Darn Tough are always so tight on my feet. It’s like putting on a wetsuit every time I go to put my socks on.”  > Reddit >  > So good to steer away from socks with very aggressive compression or tight cuffs.
* About slouch / “loose fit” socks: On r/malefashionadvice: > “The socks are genuinely super soft and comfy … The socks are “super soft slouch socks” by Hanes.”  > Reddit >  > So simple lightweight cotton slouch socks get good marks.
* Specific features to aim for for lounging: - Thick footbed or heavy knit (for comfort/insulation) - Soft fiber blend (cotton heavy, maybe wool blend, but check non-itch, loose rather than tight wool) - Slouch/loose leg – enough room, not uniform crew compression - Non-restrictive cuff (so you don’t have that band pressing into your calf) - Good “feel” for indoor use (walking around, work from home, cold floors) - If also for travel / flight / office, maybe moderate cushioning but still relaxed fit.
