This blog is not all about comparing supercars and as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, it also includes something about men’s fashion as well. For such a long time, I’ve seen a lot of men fail consistently when it comes to fashion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a hardcore metrosexual, but I earnestly believe that a man ought to know how to dress well. Knowing how to dress does not make you gay but believe it or not, a man who knows what he wants in life will be even more appreciated if he shows it up with what he wears. So let’s take a look first at what you put on your feet- socks. Socks are primarily used for protecting the feet when you have your shoes on but then again, colors are crucial if you don’t want to look like a jerk. Here are some rules for wearing socks and you might be surprised to find out that you’ve probably violated some of them already.
1.Never Wear White Socks with Black Shoes
One way of quickly destroying your fashion credentials is by putting on black shoes while wearing white socks. The general rule is that you should only wear white socks if you’re into sporting activities. Anything that does not require you to sweat and exert physical effort does not need white socks. Actually fashion experts even discourage wearing jeans and white socks because the former looks better with black socks instead.
2. Pants Dictate the Socks
Most men make the mistake of pairing their shoes with the socks that they’re going to wear and although this makes sense, it’s actually a fashion no-no. When you wear brown pants you’d have to wear brown socks or if you have black pants, putting on black socks is advised. If you’re in doubt, choose darker colors because doing so works most of the time. The reason for matching your pants with your socks is because it gives you a more fluid look especially when you sit down.
3. Folding Socks Anyone?
If you’re a seven year-old kid I wouldn’t mind seeing you fold your socks down your ankles but if you’re past that age, I don’t think you should be doing it. However, some people roll their socks which is even more tragic (read: tragic) than folding it. To make things simple, just wear your socks pulled straight up because it would give your pants a straight and clean look.
4.Buy New Ones
Your socks’ job is to protect your feet when you have your shoes on and because of that they go through loads of wear and tear all the time. When your set of socks begins to have holes and loosen, start shopping for new ones already. At best, every guy should buy socks every six months and dispose of the ones with holes and damages.
5. Printed Socks
Although I don’t wear printed socks, never wear it outside of your house unless it’s ok for you to be called a goofball. Printed socks would actually look good on women because it’s cute but if you’re a guy, I advise you to not wear it especially in the office.
Overall, socks can make or break your fashion that’s why it is important that you put extra care when you put one on your feet.
