Blue men’s dress shoes are a classic, but they can be tricky to assemble with other shades and colors. Before you decide to pair any old color sock with your blue dress shoes, there are a few things to consider. Think about the occasion you’re attending as well as the vibe you’re going for. Decide whether or not you want to be simple and monochromatic or dramatic and make a statement. Also bear in mind comfort, style, and functionality when coordinating blue shoes with your socks.
Light Blue Shoes with Light Colored Socks
Light blue shoes are a statement on their own; when paired with light colored socks, you’ll be well on your way to putting out a fresh and summery ensemble. While dark colored socks create a nice contrast against light blue socks, light colored hues bring in the lively, sunny vibes you’re probably going for.

Dark blue shoes are easy to coordinate with colored socks, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with style.

Dark Blue Shoes with Dark Colored Socks
Fashion enthusiasts have advised against pairing dark shoes with dark colored tops and bottoms. However, if you must, then simply complete the whole ensemble with lighter-colored socks. Patterned socks will definitely add a splash of fun to the entire outlook, but only certain occasions may truly be suitable to appear as such.
Blue is Next in Line
Majority of people see blue as the next easy color to match after black. This is the common reason why most people simply don a pair of blue jeans with almost any color top. The same concept applies to shoes whereby people see blue colored shoes as flexible and suitable to be paired with almost any tones and shades. For socks, the wearer needs to ensure that it differs slightly from the shoes in order not to appear lifeless.CEO, Boardroom Socks
