Socks, especially colourful and vibrant ones were once seen as a bit of a dud gift, or something that was worn by people that fashion had avoided. But times have changed, and the humble sock has been promoted from simply an everyday necessity to a fashion accessory.
Bright colourful socks have also been fast becoming something of an office-wear staple, adding much-needed personality and style to any stuffy, and professional boring suit.
What are the rules?
When it comes to wearing a little colour about the ankle, there are very few rules. It is up to the wearer on how bright and colourful they want their socks to be. Be it a solid colour affair, or a slightly more impressive stripe or spotted design, there really are no hard and fast rules.
Can I really wear colourful socks in a professional environment?
Yes! Colourful socks, much like their cousin the colourful tie, help add a little personality to a professional outfit. Putting others at ease, and pro portraying a much more personable fashion sensibility. Show your colleagues and clients that there’s a human under that suit.
How do I start?
Start with whatever you’re comfortable with. Perhaps starting with a brighter navy or a solid colour sock. Before slowly moving your sock game onto something more adventurous, like a stripe or spot. You must wear a sock that makes you feel comfortable and confident. So ditch that dull black Oxford and stock your drawer with a splash of colour.
