Boyfriend Socks by Le Bon Shoppe
At Thalken, we’re completely sock-obsessed—and for good reason.
We only carry the best of the best, and Le Bon Shoppe absolutely delivers. With their thoughtful use of high-quality materials, playful yet wearable color palettes, and exceptional craftsmanship, these socks are a true standout.
What is a Boyfriend Sock?
The name “Boyfriend Sock” actually describes the sock’s height and style, not who it's for. The main difference between the Girlfriend and Boyfriend socks is how high they rise on your ankle and leg. Boyfriend Socks are slightly taller with two stripes, while Girlfriend Socks hit just above the ankle with three stripes.

SIZE & FIT
Size & Fit
Women’s one size fits most (US women’s sizes 6–10, US men’s 4.5–8.5).
Need a larger fit? Check out socks with “Extended” in the name.
Sizing
When it comes to sizing, all of the Le Bon Shoppe styles that do not have “Extended” in the name are considered women’s one size fits most(~US women’s sizes 6–10, US men’s 4.5–8.5). All of the styles that do have “Extended” in the name are designed for larger feet and are considered men’s one size fits most (~US men’s 9+, US women’s sizes 10+). For reference, William wears a men’s size 8, so he wears the socks that do not have “Extended” in the name.

PACKAGING & GIFT WRAP
Every order is thoughtfully gift wrapped in our Thalken signature wrap—whether you’re surprising a loved one or treating yourself. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special occasion—or simply to make any day feel special.
Tucked inside, you’ll find a small black envelope sealed with gold wax, holding a note of encouragement. Jewelry is nestled in a black paper box, tucked in black butcher paper, and topped with a botanical accent.
All other treasures—like candles and art—are wrapped with a similar aesthetic, creating a beautiful, cohesive unboxing moment.
For a final touch of whimsy, we always include our signature wooden ladybug sticker—a tiny reminder to look for the light and luck swirling around you, even in the hardest times.
If you order multiple jewelry pieces, they will be consolidated into one gift-wrapped box for eco-friendly purposes.
