The Essential Guide To Wearing Bold, Colored & Textured Socks

In recent years, men's fashion has become more European-influenced thus pants have gotten slimmer and hemlines have gotten shorter. After all, few things matter more in menswear than fit. Alongside confidence and the way you wear your clothes, the fit of the garments makes the biggest impact on your personal style. And with each passing year, tailoring is evolving and labels are producing contemporary suits with identifiably skinnier and often shorter cuts than eras of the past.

So suit trousers no longer drape down. They are much slimmer and skinnier and they sit higher up on your shoe. This new men’s fashion trend looks great, particularly in spring and summer allowing fashion-conscious men to get playful with their choice of socks and show off their shoes – perfect for those looking to step away from tradition in the search of something more individual.
