Red stripes, pink spots, yellow and blue argyle...any pattern of socks works. Wear them with pants or shorts, and make it casual or formal; there are no limits as to what you can do with a pair of patterned socks.
Recently, patterned socks have wedged themselves back into the world of men’s fashion. It isn’t a fashion statement that requires you to be extremely daring. Patterned socks are an easy way to take any outfit and give it an exciting twist. It is also a way for you to play around with your outfit and just have a little fun.
Black socks are alright, because they are a timeless classic, but sometimes you just need to step out of the box. Try pairing a nice gray suit with subtle accents with a pair of red polka dot socks. Just don’t be afraid to experiment with patterned socks. Everyone is doing it, from H&M to J.Crew. Remember that for the next time you pull on your plain black socks.
