Rules for Matching Your Socks to Your Outfit

By James Hughes

Matching a shirt against the appropriate trouser is most times a piece of cake for the average fashionable man. But when it comes to the appropriate socks to make his bold fashion statement, he becomes completely befuddled and takes a gamble on it. Dressing doesn’t have to be a battle with the senses or a gamble. Below are some tips that will bring you out of the socks-and-outfit misery if you have this same problem.
  1. The Simple Rule: to avoid getting yourself into any mood of uncertainty, you can simply match your socks with the trousers you intend putting on. This can enhance your height as it creates a seamless extension of your leg that projects you as taller than usual. This doesn’t mean that the trousers and the socks should be identical in colour. They could be a shade darker or lighter, but not attention seeking.
  2. Do not match a colourful pair of socks with an already colourful outfit.
  3. Caution should be exercised in regards to the colour variation between the outfit and the socks. There should always be a balance.
  4. The only time a colourful pair of socks works best is with a simple tailoring or a dark pair of jeans.
  5. Avoid matching your socks with exact colours of your outfit like your pocket square. It looks too deliberate and without much thought.
