The Essential Guide To Wearing Bold, Colored & Textured Socks
Posted on
In recent years, men's fashion has become more European-influenced, resulting in slimmer pants and shorter hemlines. After all, few things matter more in menswear than fit. Alongside confidence and the way you wear your clothes, the fit of your garments makes the biggest impact on your personal style. As tailoring continues to evolve, contemporary suits are often cut skinnier and shorter than in past eras.
Suit trousers no longer drape down. They are much slimmer and sit higher on the shoe. This trend looks fantastic, especially in spring and summer, giving fashion-conscious men the opportunity to get playful with their choice of socks and show off their shoes—perfect for those stepping away from tradition in search of something more unique.
For a while now, there’s been a liberation movement in men’s fashion—many guys are doing one of two things to break free from the tradition of wearing black socks:
- Wearing bold and colorful socks
-
Skipping socks altogether
It's not uncommon to see someone wearing a suit and dress shoes without socks, or pairing jeans with multi-colored striped socks. The key is knowing how to pull it off.

Bush wore hot pink socks during the April 25, 2013, dedication of the George W. Bush presidential library? It was a fun and memorable fashion statement.
