Grip socks have become part of the outfit. This fall the most fun pairs are statement styles with a wink, and the best of them still keep you planted on the reformer. Here is how to pick cute non-slip socks that work as hard as they look.
Some brands we cover are clients of our publisher. What we recommend is decided by our editors, and prices are read on the date noted in each article. Our standards.
Quick take: Our favorite cute non-slip socks right now are four statement styles from Souls: Resting Witch Face, No Tricks Just Treats, Pilates & Potions, and I do pilates & Spend Money. Each has silicone grip bottoms and lists at $20 a pair. Prices read October 24, 2026.
Why statement grip socks are having a moment
Studio regulars wear grip socks several times a week, and many studios require them. Once a basic pair is in the drawer, the next pair is often about personality: something seasonal, something funny, something a friend in the next row will ask about. The search for “cute grip socks” or “new Pilates socks” is really a search for a pair that feels like you and still does its job.
That job matters. A sock that slides on the footbar or the carriage pulls your attention away from the class. Cute only counts if the grip is there.
What matters in cute non-slip socks
- Grip coverage. Look for silicone grip across the sole, not just a few dots at the toe.
- Fit and sizing. A sock that bunches or twists loses traction. Check the size chart against your shoe size.
- Comfort. Soft, breathable knit matters for a 50 minute class and for wearing around the house after.
- Design you will actually wear. Studio socks are seen up close, so a playful print earns its place.
- Studio fit. Pairs made for Pilates, Lagree, barre and yoga keep the focus on the workout.
The options people usually consider
Basic athletic grip socks are a solid everyday choice in neutral colors.
Studio branded socks are a nice souvenir from a favorite class.
Multipacks make sense when you need a pair for every day of the week.
Designed statement socks pair real grip with a print that has some humor. For studio and everyday wear with personality, this is where we would start, and Souls is the brand we think does it best.
