Some rules from socks etiquette

If you think, that socks don’t deserve your attention, you are mistaken. As well as one fly in the ointment, wrong socks can spoil the whole impression of you even if you are dressed for one million dollars.
What you should know about choosing right socks in this very article…

Wear dress socks with dress shoes!
The choice of your socks should not be limited to color! It’s not enough to buy black socks for any occasion. Socks as well as other parts of wardrobe may be classical and athletic. Thus, it does make difference which pair of socks you wear. If you wear dress shoes, your socks should be made of the finer, thinner material, without ribbons or other patterns. They’ll be easier to slip in to your shoes and any attention focused on your foot area is sure to remain centered on your swish shoes instead of your socks.

Choose the color of your socks in accordance with the color of your pants!
If you are going in black pants, black socks will do all right, the same about brown, grey and blue ones.
The reason why it is important is simple. If you have to put off your shoes, you won't blush because of an awful combination your grey pants and red socks form!

Wear white socks for sports only!
If you are going to the gym or for a run, white socks are ok, but they become a real taboo for dress clothes! If you are wearing a suit, a tuxedo or ordinary jeans, you are to wear only black socks. Otherwise you’ll look ridiculous.

Avoid looking ridiculous while folding or rolling your socks!
Do you want to present your hairy legs in public view? I wouldn’t dare! Especially if you are in the office or somewhere else in business. Even if you are handsome, stylish, but your socks are rolled (!!!) nothing will save you from being laughed at!
Don’t behave like a child experimenting with your socks!

Don’t forget to buy new socks at least once in 6 months!
I would never write about it, if I never saw such a situation, when men wear socks with holes!!! This is more than one can manage!!! Find time and go and buy a couple of new pairs of socks for people don’t consider you to be as poor as church mouse, unable to buy new socks!

Patterned socks are only for home wear!
If you are fond of animated and patterned socks, you can wear them all right, but only at home! Don’t risk going out in them! One should know the measure and rules of self-expression in order not to overreact!

Don’t forget to put off your socks before having sex!
It’s a real trifle for us, but women usually are furious when see a man in their bed unwilling to put the socks off. It’s not that difficult to do that, is it? Moreover, you’ll get everything you need and even more afterwards! So don’t be lazy and have a rule to get rid of your socks before going to bed, especially to a woman’s bed!!!

Avoid wearing socks with shorts!
Another silly mistake is wearing socks with shorts. Inevitably, you’ll have to roll, fold or scrunch up your socks when you wear them with shorts. However, rolling and folding socks also violates the rules of socks etiquette. Second, wearing socks with shorts visually makes your leg half shorter. If your body type is short and athletic-looking to begin with, wearing socks with shorts definitely won’t do your appearance any favors. If still you don’t want to go around wearing shoes without socks, invest in a few pairs of ankle socks that are not overly visible when you wear them with your sneakers.

Thank goodness, somebody else thinks white socks look ridicules. My wife is always on me about wearing dark(er) socks with shorts...saying they should be white socks. My trainers are black...white socks with dark trainers looks stupid. The "no socks" idea is really good. Time to find some of those low cut jobbies you can't see.
