What socks to wear with suits



For some reason I still see guys wearing white socks with suits. The only person who ever pulled that look off was Michael Jackson, and we all know what happened to him. *cough* Bubbles *cough*

Actually socks can say a lot about someone's personality. For instance, someone who wear white socks with a suit has no fucking idea. However take the same man and throw a pair of red socks on him in a blue suit and you just might have a sartorial genius.

Traditionally you will want to match the socks to the pants, but if you're feeling creative, try these combinations.

Blue Suit - Red/Purple
Khaki Suit - Green/Navy Blue
Grey Suit - Navy/Light Blue
White Suit - Gold/silver socks (joke!) - No white suits unless you're that guy off Fantasy Island.

EDIT: Patterns are ok, just make sure they're subtle.

I believe Michael Jordan used to wear white socks with his suits as well. And I actually thought it was quite a good look, but then again, it was in the early 90's and I also thought that Billy Cristal was funny.. Great site by the way.
