How To Style Men’s Business Casual Socks
Rules of Sock Engagement
One of the most traditional rules when it comes to socks is that you should be matching the color of your socks to your pants. This is probably what you have been doing for as long as you can remember because it just makes sense. However, if you have reached the point where you are starting to feel a little bored, or even restricted by this traditional “rule,” and are ready to shake things up a little bit you can do so by simply adding some socks adorned with a subtle pattern, maybe some strips or pin dots, or – if you are feeling like getting a little more out there – you can even add business casual socks with graphics such as dogs, puppies or kittens. All of these options are a clear and drastic break from the traditional solid colors of black, grey or blue.
Be Bold
One of the best ways to make sure you have some colorful, fashion-forward breaks from the traditional business casual attire is by being bold with your sock choices. Business casual socks with bright, playful colors, plaid patterned, or even polka dots show off little bits of your own personality whenever they flash out from underneath your more traditional grey or navy dress pants. Even if your socks are rarely flashed throughout the day, you will feel comfortable knowing that you are not entirely locked down in a grey coating, and you do in fact have some flair, and color added to your conservative attire.
Before Getting Colorful…
One of the first things to do when it comes to spicing your conservative business attire up with some colorful socks is to double check with your office’s dress code policy. As long as nothing is expressly saying you cannot dress up your feet with bold, colorful patterns, you are good to go! However, there are a few more things you should do before slipping those playful socks into your work shoes!
Length: Make sure your business casual socks are at least calf length to keep it professional.
Quality: Go for business socks made of quality material so that you can wear them multiple times without worry of holes, or noticeable signs of wear.
