Socks (or lack thereof) complete the formation of the image of a modern person. They are invisible if chosen correctly, and monstrous if worn outside of any canons. It is very difficult to derive any one rule, following which you will not get into trouble. Therefore, let’s look at the basic principles of choosing this inconspicuous thing.
How to wear men's socks correctly?
A suit from a man requires careful selection of all other clothes and accessories. Socks should be the color of the trousers or 1-2 shades lighter than them and the shoes. A dark blue suit and black boots are complemented by dark blue socks, and gray socks are worn between a gray suit and brown shoes.
The line of the leg continues with the color scheme of the socks. They must be of the maximum length so that a sitting man does not shock others with the appearance of bare legs.
Official business style does not allow deviations from the rules. But some men, wanting to demonstrate their sense of humor, can wear socks with some interesting pattern to a formal outfit. For example, black trousers - black polka-dot half-stockings or a gray suit - gray socks with a white contour pattern.
Long socks should not be worn with shorts; short ones are acceptable, but matching the color of the pants or T-shirt is mandatory.. If you can’t do without them, use unnoticeable footrests.
Bold and confident representatives of the stronger sex reject all the rules and show socks with patterns - geometric, fantasy, cartoon - choosing them not to match the color or tone, but simply according to the dictates of the soul. The main thing in this is whether the man has a sense of style. If yes, then everything is fine. If you decide to enliven your image with a splash of color, then be bold and consistent. Otherwise, in an attempt to become original, you will look ridiculous.
Important! White socks complement white trousers or shoes on the court or in the gym, and black ones match a black suit.
What is the right way to combine women's socks?
In the middle of the last century, our mothers and grandmothers wore white cotton socks under their pumps. It was in great fashion. Then they began to hide this item of clothing from prying eyes, making it almost invisible. And a few years ago, designers suggested that women make cotton socks and their variations an accent item in their look.
Nylon or lace ones are worn with dress shoes, pumps or open sandals. This is considered the most romantic and feminine version of the trend.
Half-socks with colored prints are very popular now. Combine them only with plain shoes so that the two accents do not conflict with each other..
When can you wear fashionable socks?
It doesn’t matter what shoes you wear them with - it can be boots, sandals, or elegant stilettos - the main thing is to combine them with other clothes. A skirt, dress, sundress, leggings, and short trouser styles look great in this role. The length of cotton and blended items varies depending on the type of shoe and should be slightly above the edge of the shoe..
Important! Using the trend of wearing socks under open or dress shoes is only possible for a smart casual style. Strict office style has not yet succumbed to fashion trends.
How can you not wear socks?
Women's nylon socks for jeans or trousers should be 3–5 cm higher than the shoes. They cannot be worn like tights: the border between them and the leg is always marked. Unlike men's rules, if a lady is sitting, then the open part of her leg should be visible.
Men's socks should not be worn:
- with sandals - categorically and irrevocably, nowhere and never;
- with boat shoes, slip-ons, sleepers, espadrilles, moccasins. As an option, wear short, discreet socks that are not visible from your shoes;
- with his pants rolled up.
