Socks may be the least clothing accessory in a man’s wardrobe but a man that wants to be highly fashionable should pay attention to the fashion side of socks as well.
If you notice the lowest number of clothing accessory almost every man has is socks. Shoes, shirts, belts, trousers and the rest of it has a higher number when compared to the less purchased socks
Most men don’t know that socks are a huge part of a man’s fashion; bad socks can render your fashion useless. I wish most ladies would now pay attention to this and help their man out with the fashion side of socks.
1. NEVER WEAR TORN SOCKS
I don’t know why men do this and from what I’ve noticed a lot of men have socks that are torn. For any reason you get to pull off your shoes, it would be embarrassing. You may feel that you probably won’t have to pull off your shoes but there are two things I would reveal to you; 1. Anything can happen; 2. Wearing good socks would boost your confidence. Whether you are a businessman, a college student or that man that’s just out on a date with his favourite girl, you need confidence. With good socks matched with quality dressing, you just have that reassurance that you are okay and that’s confidence at work.
2. YOUR SOCKS SHOULD MATCH YOUR TROUSERS
This is one rule every man must follow when it comes to wearing socks. A pair of socks that’s differently coloured from your trouser would make you look annoyingly weird. Wear all the designer labels you can in the world, if you disobey this rule you would just look like an expensive jerk.
3. YOU CAN MATCH SOCKS WITH YOUR OUTFIT ENSEMBLE
This tip is an extension of the previous tip. Men can spice up their fashion by wearing socks that fits with their outfit; for example, a man wearing a black suit with gold tie can swag it up with gold socks. You can match certain accessories up with your socks and still look great but you ought to be careful here. This rule is quite technical and doing it wrongly can make you look like an expensive jerk.
4. ANKLE-LENGTH SOCKS ARE THE MOST SUITABLE
low-cut sport, ankle-length, knee-length
There are three common lengths of men socks; low-cut sport, ankle-length and knee-length socks but the most fashionable of the three is the ankle-length socks. The low-cut socks can be awkward sometimes and the knee-length can as well look too sporty and unnecessary long on some occasions but the ankle-length socks is always fashionable for every occasion.
5. COTTON SOCKS ARE USUALLY THE BEST FOR FORMAL OCCASIONS
High quality cotton socks are usually the best, for suits especially. Wearing your cotton socks matches your tuxedo, blazers, jackets and the lot perfectly well.
6. SOCKS FORMATION
Most men aren’t aware of this as they wear different kinds of socks with any attire; this is fashion suicide. Athletic socks should go with athletic shoes, cotton striped and patterned socks can go with casual sneakers and casual leather shoes. Wearing socks with any kind of wear isn’t fashionable and is a blunder fashion-wise.
I’ve noticed that most men just won’t pay attention to how they wear their socks hence the need for this article; hopefully most ladies would help their man when it comes to the issue of wearing socks because a well-dressed man is dressed down to his socks.
I urge you ladies, don’t let your man leave the house looking like an expensive jerk; his socks are as well important.
