CALZITALY STYLE WEEK: SOCKS AND ANKLE SOCKS – PART 3

After having explored the complicate world of women (if you have not read our previous article yet click here), the third and last article of our Calzitaly Style Week is thoroughly dedicated to the male world, with style tips for any type of man.

FOR HIM: DARE WITH STYLE

It is said that men are simpler than women, but combining socks to an outfit is not so simple as it is thought to be: some little tricks are necessary, above all if you choose to wear patterned socks.

The blog Thethref claims that you men have endless choices to style your feet, from tone-on-tone to patterned socks, with which you have to ironically play with style.

As we did in the previous article, we have selected some outfits according to the type of man we want to show.


THE MAN WITHOUT SOCKS

There are men who prefer to show bare leg, even if fashion experts do not recommend it for formal occasions.
If they do not want to wear socks they could choose invisible shoe liners, worn with shoes or loafers.

On the contrary, there are men who cannot renounce socks and have a wide range of choices in front of them, which they have to style according to the occasion and the outfit.


THE SPORTSMAN

If you are jeans-aholic and your look is more casual, you have many possibilities at hand, for example spotty colourful socks, worn with jeans and a plain or patterned t-shirt. 

In this latter case you should be careful about the pattern you wear: we do not recommend polka dots with a striped t-shirt, but a pattern which recalls the colour of the socks.

THE ELEGANT MAN

If, for working purposes or personal tastes, you often wear suits, you have to be careful not only about the pattern, but also the colour and material.

Usually liner or ankle socks should not be worn with elegant suits, because showing bare legs is not considered an appropriate choice. Socks should be half-calf or knee-highand made with light or mercerised cotton.

Rules are not so strict about the socks colour, what Is important is that it has to give an “harmonious contrast”. Plain colour is easier to match, you should be careful about shoes and suit colours.

Recommended Match: brown shoes with grey socks and light grey suit, or dark blue socks with grey suit.

If you want to dare, instead, do it with style!

Colourful or patterned socks should match the colour or pattern of what you are wearing. 

Here for example striped socks are combined with two suits, the blue and light blue of the socks matches perfectly the tie and shirt colour.

Style Corriere

These years wearing colourful and patterned socks is becoming more and more fashionable, but fashion experts do not recommend that you should wear them for very formal occasions. 
We think instead that… a bit of happiness and transgression have never hurt anybody 😉


That’s all folks! The last article of our Calzitaly Style Week has come to an end. If you have not read them yet, take a look at our previous article about female outfits, where we have shown some ideas and styles for your days and nights.
