Updates to fashion trends expand the "horizons" of men's wardrobe and choice. The variety of looks provides an opportunity for a vivid demonstration of the appearance. Pay attention first of all to the socks. A seemingly inconspicuous accessory can make you stand out from the crowd.
Fashion is dynamic. Short socks have faded into the background, now high ones have taken their place. With what to wear them and how to choose?
Types and rules of combination

With the right choice of this accessory, you should first analyze the content of the fabric. Obviously, almost all socks are made from a mixture of different materials. Assessing the merits and demerits of each type of fabric will help you make the right decision. As mentioned earlier, socks are made from cotton, wool, bamboo fiber, synthetics and other raw materials. Most often, a natural kind of fabric is mixed with a synthetic one so that the accessory will serve the consumer as long as possible. People who associate their lives with sports activities almost always buy cotton, others, for example, from flax - they are practical in any weather, but their noticeable drawback is the narrowness of the choice of colors.
Natural materials promote ventilation and "let the skin breathe". The most rational ratio is 80% cotton and 20% synthetics.
Composition
- Merino wool. Wool is usually associated with the cold season, but merino is so breathable that it can be worn all the time. It is more expensive than cotton, acrylic and nylon, but more durable.
- Acrylic and cotton. Less expensive than wool, but versatile. They are practical, easy to use and dry quickly.
- Nylon mixes up with other fabrics ranging from 20% to 50%. It provides durability and dries quickly.
- Elastane, Spandex or Lycra. These ingredients provide elasticity and allow the sock to stretch properly. Often in the composition from 2% to 5%.
Different lengths and lack of standards sometimes lead to a dead end when choosing. In order not to get confused and get the right model, it is important to read some tips.
Life hacks
- It happens that long socks to the calf often slip off, then it is recommended to use special suspenders.
- When choosing a color, you should correlate the tone of the socks with the shade of the shoes and buy those that are lighter.
- White options should only be worn in conjunction with athletic shoes.
- Poisonous neon socks can be smartly combined with formal suits to add a bright accent to the image.
- It is recommended to wear blue socks if the outfit includes jeans.
- The print should at least slightly match the print on the tie or scarf.
It is important to pay attention to the price of socks.They should not be too cheap, as this indicator may indicate their poor quality.
If the advice did not help, but only confused, then you should use the "universal rules" for the selection of socks that will never fail. They are used by both fashion designers and designers, and people who are not associated with the fashion industry.
rules
- You should choose socks that will match the color or tone of the clothes you are going to wear with them.
- Both diplomatic protocol and fashion critics have established that whites should be replaced by blacks in a business dress.
- If you choose with a print, then you should pay attention to the size, shape and meaning of the drawings. It is recommended to stick with small images or brand logos.
- The versatile colors you'll (more than likely) ever need are gray, navy blue, black, and possibly olive brown. Gray and navy are part of the capsule wardrobe.
- It is important to consider the length, as the trousers are slightly lifted up when you sit. That is why long men's socks are not only stylish, but also practical - they should be preferred.
- It is necessary to pay attention to the elastic band. It should not be too tight, so as not to press and interfere with blood circulation. You should also avoid overly elastic bands that wear out quickly.
- Comfortable and of higher quality are those made of cotton, wool, bamboo fiber with the addition of elastane. If we are talking about cold seasons, then preference should be given to those made of natural wool. It is better to abandon synthetics altogether or limit yourself to a small amount of percent in the composition.
- The thicker the fabric, the more cushioning, especially when there is a lot of wool in it. Thicker ones are also warmer.
- Socks can also be used as a "fixture" for fitting shoes. If it's too roomy, try a slightly thicker one. If too tight, wear thinner ones.
- When in doubt, stick to black.
- Make sure your socks fit together and have no visible holes. It's obvious, but it's easy to make a mistake.
