Socks Game

Socks are the one thing many classically dressed men will allow themselves to be a bit playful with. When the uniform is a standard dark blue, dark grey, or black, and one wants to express themselves without going full flash mode, they tend to opt for a colorful sock and/or tie (although few wear those these days, sadly). Having nice socks is often something a man (or lady) appreciates. Especially in the day of instagram, and showing that trouser/sock/shoe combo

In springtime, we all transition from the heavier, muted color socks to a more thin cotton, bright color-rich sock that pairs well with the lighter tones (beige chinos, linen etc) so frequently seen and worn on those warmer days. And if we are really feeling courageous and want to express our individuality, we go next-level and grab a bold pattern while we are at it. Personally, in Winter, as we are wearing more high top, I tend to stick to single-colored socks and no pattern. Whereas in Spring/Summer, as the slip on come out, I start gravitating towards the stripes, houndstooth, and more interesting patterns that can be seen and appreciated.
