Socks 102
Seeing that I have been focused with feet for the last few posts, let's talk about socks again. One of the most underrated accessories in a gentleman's wardrobe is his socks. Randomly selected and almost always neglected, the gentleman would benefit to pay more attention to his ankles. Here are some rules that I have learned through the years concerning men's hosiery.
10) Your foundation should consist of basic blues, blacks, browns, and grays.
9) Don't limit yourself to the basics when expanding your wardrobe; experiment with pastels in the spring and summer.
8) Basic colors in blue, black, brown, and gray can be purchased lower than retail price in stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and outlet malls such as Concord Mills Mall.
7) The texture and material of your socks should coincide with the fabric of your trousers.
6) Likewise, the texture of your socks should coincide with footwear. For example, heavy cottons and formal dress shoes don't go together.
5) The color of your socks should compliment the color in your trousers.
4) For the adventurous, socks can compliment various colors to elements in your outfit; your tie, pocket square, etc.
3) Always wash socks in cold water on gentle to reduce shrinkage and wear.
2) Never dry your socks in the dryer; instead hang them in the shower overnight to dry.
1) Washable laundry bag!! You want to stop losing that one sock. Buy a bag from Target and keep track of your socks.
