Socks, a garment or a fashion accessory?

Socks, a garment or a fashion accessory?

it seems that this article of clothing so necessary to maintain foot care, has become one of the greatest fashion accessories these days. The possibilities that exist to combine with the rest of the garments are almost infinite. There are dark, colorful, striped, rhombus, smooth, with drawings, etc, etc, etc.
What stands out the most today for being more fashionable are striped socks, and if they have very bright colors, all the better.
There are fashions that, although they succeed on the catwalk, do not manage to penetrate the street. The socks, however, seem to have more followers every day. The celebrities were the first to join the trend.

But best of all, this is not a trend that marks a clear social group. This fashion has permeated from a 100% urban skater, to a high executive "office worker". The fashion of socks has permeated the whole world.
Although we are not exactly the best people to talk about formalisms, since it is not our style, I do find it interesting to take into account the following recommendations when wearing socks:
Check that your socks are in good condition, their frequent rotation and friction cause significant wear and tear on the materials that make them up. Elastic yarns deteriorate, losing their flexibility and do not sit firmly in the right place. Natural yarns such as cotton or wool are pierced or pilled. Causing a unkempt look.
  1. Do not roll or fold them over your ankles.
  2. With dress shoes, wear dress socks, it is not correct to wear sports socks when you wear dressy clothes.
  3. If you are looking for a classic image, combine the color of the sock with that of the pants, although there are differences of opinion on this subject, if the color of the sock is similar to that of the pants, you will not abruptly break the color effect. If you want a detail that stands out, you can resort to a striking color that matches another accessory to your outfit, such as your tie or your pocket square.
  4. Refresh your socks from time to time, don't wait for your big toe to come off

Now this is said by many people in the fashion world, so only follow the advice if you don't have an Indian spirit!! Take risks and do what others think should not be done!!
