There are a TON of things to try to upgrade your style – we spoke a lot about them. But there are a few “unconventional” ways to stand out that are actually… kind of fun.
One of those secrets is to wear colored socks. Hold on there! If you’ve just raised your eyebrow, I saw that!
Give me a few minutes of your time to read this article and you’ll almost surely change your mind.
The thing that got me to write about them is the fact that I got a great price for two pairs of Zara socks the other week. I’ll show you how I matched them in a moment but first let me give you the theory.
Wearing colored socks isn’t all that hard – and it’s not too much if you’re a style newbie either. The rule is simple:
- choose a pair of colored socks (other than blue, gray, or navy blue);
- match that color with something else in your made to measure suit
- match that color with something else in your made to measure suit
Still, you need to be careful with a couple of things.
First off, you shouldn’t wear regular socks with shorts. A pair of stylish cotton shorts is great during summer but make sure you choose either “no-show” or “low-cut” socks with them.
To show off you’re colored socks, all you have to do is roll up your pants. I’ve already discussed the topic of rolling up your jeans and khakis here so I’m not going to do it again. But wearing the right sock length with the different types of pants is important.
Notice how both orange and black repeat themselves in this outfit. And, I should also mention the black leather jacket made to measure suit which is absolutely fantastic (and manly).
These are just a few examples of what you can do with socks. This is truly a style gem that I’m giving you right here. The rest is up to you and, when you find the guts to wear them (like I did last night), you’ll want to wear them over and over again.
