You may consider socks as the lowliest of garments (or simply a trivial part of the whole grooming process), but socks can easily make or break any fashion statement. Socks are not only worn for the comfort they provide. Different varieties are worn for different occasions and situations. Picking the wrong pair of socks can spoil an otherwise well-coordinated outfit. One key rule to follow when dressing up is to pick footwear – both shoes and socks – that are darker or the same tone as your top.
White socks are generally a no-no, unless you are going to the gym or wearing white leather shoes. White socks are usually frowned upon by the more fashionable set. It is a common advice not to use white socks when dressing formally, unless you want the fashion police hot on your heels.
But does this mean you should throw out all your white socks? No. Maybe it’s all about the cleanliness. Maybe it’s all about the comfort. Whatever the reason, white socks are still a wardrobe staple even though fashion gurus might malign them endlessly. For people who don’t really care about style just as long as they are comfortable, clean white socks are simply perfect especially worn at home or at leisure. White socks are readily available from any garments and athletic apparel store. You can even shop for your next pair of white socks online. Just make sure that thickness, fabric, quality and fit are perfect for you.
White socks are just fine for gym use as well. Most athletic socks come in white, whether plain or printed or embellished with logos and other decorations. When choosing athletic socks, thickness and the fabric are the main factors to consider. Wool and cotton are the best fabric choices, as they are absorbent.
