We received a customer email this morning asking us a very common question: "....what should I wear your bold colored socks with? I wear a suit to work almost everyday (except Friday) and want to use my socks to inject some color into my wardrobe without looking like a fool...."
This question gave us the idea to start a mini blog series called SOCK STYLING, where we will field questions on how to pair your dress socks with the outfit. We know that doing this in a tasteful yet sophisticated way can be tricky, but the good news is that there is no right or wrong answer (the bad news is there is no right or wrong answer).
Our first piece of advice is to be confident, but have direction. The above customer went on to tell us that he is in finance and, for the most part, leans towards a conservative look. He wears tailored suits in the Navy spectrum and most often pairs them with either white or blue shirts.
With this piece of intel, we recommend experimenting with our solids line, but avoiding a casual color (like hunter green). Pairing our purple solid with a blue suit is a beautiful look and can be relatively understated if done right - the same goes with our cloud and mustard colors. Remember, much like the theoretical stylings of a mullet*, you can keep it conservative up top, but have a party down below.
Do you have a SOCK STYLING question or dilemma? Let us know and we'll gladly give out two cents!
*we love the reference, but don't recommend pairing a mullet with any of our socks.
