Saturday Style Tip: "Put A Sock In It"

Another week is just about fully in the books and being that it is Saturday means that we have yet another "Saturday Style Tip". Finding your own personal style is pretty easy to do. It takes a little bit of exploration and experimentation but at the end of the day, its about you and who knows you better than...well, you. You have to do what feels right for you. These tips are simple suggestions of how to add small items to your closet to upgrade your look. This Saturday's tip is simple, socks. The first thing I want to mention is that unless you are wearing shorts, or its the summer and you are wearing a light colored cotton suit with loafers ditch the shorty ankle socks. It always looks a little strange when you sit down and your jeans, or slacks, ride up a bit and your left with your ankles and lower leg showing with your shoes or sneakers. So, that part is simple enough. Now, to elevate your overall look get some socks with color or an argyle pattern on them. If you are wearing business casual or even a suit then this is a great accompaniment but its even better if you get that extra splash of color when your out at the bars, or dinner or anything outside of work. Think about wearing dark denim and a shirt and maybe a scarf and your socks match the color of your scarf. Its the simple, small detail in pairing your look that way that says you know what your doing and you care. Plus its subtle enough that your not going way out of your way to be overly trendy and make some bold statement. Its quiet confidence. Don't go over the top with the colors. Look at the colors that you wear often and get some socks that fall in that color range. Blues, blacks, browns, reds, and them throw some argyle in there. (Photo by Paola Kudacki from GQ)
