Footwear II

Two of the gravest footwear sins a man can commit are wearing white athletic socks with formal shoes (brogues, loafers, etc) or worse, - flip flops/sandals with any socks at all.









Only for Gandhi wannabes.

Wear dark (preferably black) calf-length socks for everything except when you're playing sports, which is probably the only occasion to don athletic socks. They're named 'athletic socks' for a reason.










Color aside, if you intend on wearing socks with shorts, (if you're donning a pair of All-Stars and khaki shorts, for example) I would recommend a pair of ankle socks. Longer socks with shorts will make you look stocky or just plain silly.

To close off, a little something to reiterate the importance of good footwear and why it can make or break your entire look. That's Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook on the right.
