Workplace, formal or casual events?

ankle socks are a more relaxed style that work well for most workplace settings and casual events. If you're wearing them to a formal event, they should be worn over the top of dress socks or suit pants. You can get them in any color, including pastel colors and bolder hues like purple and pink. Cool men's socks are usually made from cotton or wool, but some companies have started making novelty styles out of materials like nylon, bamboo and spandex.
