Do you know what can ruin a great outfit?  The wrong color socks - white socks to be more specific.  Guys, if you’re going to put together a super fly outfit don’t goof it up by wearing white socks.  Seriously, girls notice simple things like that.  Unlike men, women appreciate the details.  So save the white socks for the gym.

Then what color socks should you wear?  Play it safe and just wear black dress socks.  If you’re wearing blue jeans, then navy blue will work too.   There are arguments that say your socks should match the color of your pants or shoes.  Honestly, if you want to go through all that trouble be my guest.  I prefer to keep it simple and avoid having to think too much about my footwear.

Now don’t run out and buy black, ankle high athletic socks and think you can wear them with a dope outfit.  You can’t!  When you’re dressed to the nines you shouldn’t be showing any skin at your ankle and calf.  Make sure your socks are pulled up and not sagging.  If you need the cushion of sport socks, then you can wear them under a thin dress sock.
