Nothing feels more comfortable than a good pair of bamboo socks. Some time back, socks weren’t really that interesting to look at or talk about. Nowadays, men are very keen on their socks. A lot of thought goes into trying to match the right socks with the right shoe or the right colored socks with the right suit.
It’s safe to say that a lot of people get it wrong. So to help ease your burden, here are 5 tips for styling your bamboo socks.
1. Stick to black
The general rule of thumb is that if you are not sure what socks to wear, or which color matches with the rest of your outfit, choose black. Whether you want to look casual or official, you can never go wrong with black bamboo socks.
2. Fit and length
You can have the most creative outfit for the day but if you are wearing the wrong length or the wrong fit, it brings the whole look down. Make sure the socks you’re wearing aren’t too tight or too long/short. When you’re out for a jog or a picnic dressed casually, feel free to put on, no show, ‘barely there’ socks that end way below your ankles. But when you’re in a suit, you are safer with long socks that go a short distance above your ankles.
3. Plain or patterns?
Patterned socks have recently become quite popular among men. Out of all types of socks, patterned socks are the easiest socks to style. Wear them with shorts, jeans or a suit and they fit right into place. Whether they high or low, black, white or colored, patterned socks bring in a sense of versatility to your entire look making you stand out from other people. Choose stripes and dots over other patterns if you are not that confident or you don’t want to look funny.
4. Size of socks
Socks, unlike shoes, either come in small, medium, large or extra-large sizes. Wearing a small sized pair of bamboo socks when you are actually a medium sized person can leave you enduring great discomfort throughout the day. What’s more, it can leave you feeling slightly light-headed or with a swollen leg owing to poor flow of blood if the socks are too tight.
5. Statement socks
Black grey and white are safe choices for many, but now you can see men flaunting their neon green, bright purple, and yellow socks and enjoying the attention. The key to styling such statement socks is by giving hints. Put them on with ankle length boots or with a trouser that is neither too short nor too long.
Socks can bring up a sense of confidence in you and help you make the bold statement that you are serious about fashion. With the tips above, you are now well on your way to looking dapper and having heads turning everywhere you go.
