A Guide To Mens Socks
Sounds pretty dull doesn’t it? A guide to socks! But infact the importance of socks has hugely increased over the last few seasons, with attention to detailing being key. Us gents struggle to seperate ourselves from the masses, with the majority of us shopping from the same high street stores. The tiniest of details count, and all add individual touches to our style. Sock’s should no longer be used “just to keep your feet warm”, they should be used to add a new dimension to your outfit. Socks can be used in a variety of ways. Boot socks are extremely popular this AW’ 11, adding a new texture to your look. Pairing boot socks with desert boots and rolling your trouser leg up slightly to add a dash of texture works extremely well. A dash of subtle colour can also be produced through a pair of socks. Again, simply by turning up your trouser leg will show off a dash of colour, and can add something to a neutral, monochromatic look. Here are some photos for inspiration to develop this trend:
Most brands now create a range of socks, showing that they’re not just stocking fillers anymore. It’s something men actually now pay attention too, and implementing socks into your style is now an important factor. Along with recognised brands and designers creating a range of socks within their collections, we also now have specialised designers of socks with Happy Socks being the most popular example. Accessories can be used to add individual touches to a look, and socks is one of them. Here are some of our favourite product picks.
Whether you’re after mens striped socks, colourful socks or knitted socks, adding this small addition to your looking can dramatically enhance your style.
