Sock of the Month Philosockphy: The Do's and Don'ts of No Show Socks

 

Socks have always been known as the forgotten part of a man's outfit - after all, how much thought do you give to something you only wear with your shoes? But when it comes to choosing no show socks, there are more important things to pay attention to than just how they look in your shoes. Do they match the rest of your clothes? Are they too thick or too thin? This month's sock of the month features five do's and don'ts when buying no show socks and will make sure you never forget about this overlooked sartorial component again.

Should you wear no-show socks?


These days, when you see someone wearing a dress sock or an ankle sock, it may be hard to tell if they're wearing socks at all. Luckily for you, we've got your back. You should always wear no-show socks when you're wearing trousers. When it comes to no-show socks, there are two things that don't work. First of all, black is always a bad idea for no-show socks because it will show through lighter colors like grey and white. Second of all, forget about any kind of pattern or design on the top part of the sock--that will also show through your pants.

When to wear your no-show socks


No-show socks are perfect for a number of occasions. If you're wearing jeans, tuck your pants into your socks for a cleaner look. A great gift idea is to put socks in a greeting card, or better yet, in an sock subscription box! A fun way to wear no show socks is with slacks or dress pants tucked into them for a more casual look. You can also wear them with shorts if you want to add some personality to your outfit.

Should you match your shoe color with your sock color?


If you're wearing dress shoes with dark soles, then matching your socks to your shoe color is a safe bet. If you're wearing sneakers or loafers, it doesn't matter as much--those are typically more casual footwear.
