The Bombas Women’s Sheer Sparkle Quarter 4-Pack Gift Box delivers a similarly brilliant twinkle, but the pairs in this set are more sheer than the Somatchi socks, and shorter (they sit about 3.5 inches above the ankle bone). They come four to a box, in sparkly solid colors: black, gold, plum, and navy. Full disclosure: The navy pair, with its rose-gold sparkles, legitimately increased my heart rate. (It’s just a shame that these socks can’t be purchased in individual pairs, in case you want to double up on a favorite color, or sample just one—shelling out for the whole set is expensive.) The Bombas socks are made from a fabric blend that includes nylon, Supima cotton, and metallized fiber; it’s wonderfully light and silky, but the socks do have a reinforced toe and heel, so I don’t feel the need to be totally precious with them. They come in S, M, and L, to fit women’s sizes 4 to 13—the broadest range of any of the socks we recommend here.
