Traditional and conservative styles used to be very trendy, but in the last 8 years, stripes, fun shapes and bright colours came up and, out of nowhere, important businessmen started to wear colourful socks with their suits. Is it classy?
When it comes to fashion nothing is forbidden. Everyone has their own right to set a style to stand up from others, however, for those who are still interested in fitting into the society, there are some general rules, especially when wearing elegant suits.
If you are not a risk-taker, classics should be your option. No matter where you go, nothing can go wrong with them, but keep in mind that you will be wearing neutral colours at all times. Neutral colours are: black, blue or brown. If you like white, please leave it for the gym. This colour will never be elegant.
When choosing your socks, you must pay attention to the colour of your trousers. Always the socks should match the colour of it, but always have to be darker. For black, grey and blue suits, we recommend you navy socks. Leave the black ones for really elegant occasions.
In case your suit is light coloured, remember that your socks must be darker and, in this case, focus your attention on the colour of the shoes. When thinking about the length, all you need to know is that when you are seated, nobody should be able to see your legs.
Apart from elegant occasions, you don’t need to pay attention to your socks, except when wearing moccasins. Please, do not wear white socks with them!
