How to choose your socks ?

This is a question we often hear in our stores or from our customers and on social networks.

THEORY

In theory, in men's fashion, it's recommended to match the color of socks with the color of his pants or shoes.

This allows you to remain sober, chic and dressed.

But there are other alternatives!

HOW TO MATCH YOUR SOCKS WITH YOUR SUIT ?

In a formal environment or on an special occasion like a wedding, and if you don't want to take some risks, we recommend you to opt for simple and classic agreements with a suit:

Navy blue suit / navy socks / black or brown shoes
Grey suit / grey socks / black or brown shoes
Brown suit / attention surprise ... Brown socks / brown shoes!
Black suit / black socks : black shoes

HOW TO MATCH YOUR SOCKS WITH A CASUAL OUTFIT ?

With pants and a casual jacket, you can follow the same rule as for your suit, that is to say, match your socks with your pants.

However, here too you can afford to be a little fancy.
You'll have more freedom to choose original socks, with patterns or colors.

But be careful to stay a minimum of sobriety to not turn ridiculous.
