A Guide On How To Wear Socks

It’s true, socks ARE a fashion statement.

I bet you didn’t know that to look good in socks you need to follow a few rules? Well, let me introduce you to this wonderful guide that will help you navigate through this amazing fashion category : SOCKS!

The Basics

Rule #1 in socks fashion is to match your socks with your pants. Do NOT try to match them with your shoes or else your feet will look way too elongated.

Pro Tip : Wear your socks one shade darker than your pants. This rule of thumb makes sure you look like you know what you’re doing.

Intermediate Level

You’d like to add a little something extra and still look very nice? To take your sock game to the next level, instead of matching your socks with your pants, try to compliment them.

This means using solid colors or a small pattern that contrasts or fits with your pants. You can use polka dots or stripes.

Try to find colors that are not necessarly the same as your pants but that are still aestheticaly pleasing. You can refer to the color wheel to give you ideas!

Expert Level (!)

This is the fun part! Be bold, be creative, have fun!

The trick is to always match your socks with something from your outfit. Match your tie or your shirt, or even your eyes. The possibilities are endless!

If you are aware of your colors and if you’re NOT overdoing it, this is where your personality can really shine just by your socks!

Tips

Your socks shouldn’t take all the attention. Use them as a statement, something that gets noticed but doesn’t overtake your outfit.

So,

if you want to add a bit of spices in your wardrobe, SOCKS are the new trend! Get creative, try new things and have fun with your style!
