Men’s footwear, apparel, and accessories have been making serious strides in recent years in terms of originality, quality, and style. Now more than ever, the emphasis on men’s fashion has brought out some of the most well-dressed, stylish gentlemen. While this may seem effortless to some, the truth is that achieving these looks requires some serious skill. We are here to break down some of the basics for styling men’s dress socks to make it easy and simple to get the high class look you are going for.
Simplicity is Key
Dress Socks and Dress Shoes
One of the key elements to getting sock styling right is footwear, namely dress shoes. The right dress sock can make all the difference in how a shoe fits and how a gentleman’s overall style is conveyed. That is why it is especially important to know how to coordinate dress socks for men with their dress shoes. Certain men’s dress shoes require thin dress sock materials, while others have room for a thicker knit. There are a variety of factors that go into determining the right way to style men’s socks with dress shoes. The material of a man’s dress shoe (leather, synthetic, etc.), as well as the rise and cut can all be determining factors for styling shoes with socks. For the perfect fit, consider doing some research on the make of your favorite dress shoe and look into whether there are any sock material recommendations available. This will help provide a better understanding of which dress shoes will go with which men’s dress socks.
Color and Men’s Dress Socks
A pop of color in dress socks can be a great way to infuse style into any man’s outfit, but it must be done correctly. The best thing to do when working color into a look is to choose one accent color and work around it. Patterned socks are perfect for incorporating color into a look, as they often bring out one feature color against a solid background. Black socks with pink dots, for example, would go great with a black suit or black trousers. Fold a small pocket square into the breast of the suit jacket, and this outfit will immediately exude class and panache.
