I think it’s fine. Begged ish is only if clothing is intended for man. Like men’s pants. Maybe buttons on men’s side. Sword holster.
But socks are for anyone.

AYLOR.
I can't imagine you won't get mixed answers here.
Not only do I sometimes buy unisex socks for myself, but sometimes I actually wear my husband's socks on purpose.
Don't worry, I was going to gehenom already anyway for many other things.

What else would I wear when I need longer socks and my ankle socks won’t do?
I’m panicking! Are women allowed to wear men’s crocs?

Who gets to decide they are mens' socks?

I used to buy my DD's gymboree boys socks (back in the day of old gymboree). I found they were thicker and better quality than the girls, and my girls liked them for lounging around the house, or in booties....

What else would I wear if that’s the only thing in sight and I want to run out for a minute? I’m panicking!

Socks are socks. They're gender neutral. Just like leggings, hoodies, gloves, scarfs, t-shirts, crocs.....

Yep, this is the precise reason of my panic attack. Anyone knows a chassidish rav who can give me a heter? Maybe I should start a spinoff. Don’t want to hijack this thread

My Favorite pj's sweatshirt in the winter are like 4XL things from the men's section so they go down to my knees. So cozy.

And they cover till after your fingers so you’re nice and warm.

What makes socks men's or women's really? The size? Texture? That they are sold in the men's or women's section?
Really socks are socks are socks, no?
