How to Match Socks with Dress Shoes - For Men

Men who often wear suits and formal attire look professional and put together. Having everything from a matching suit and shirt, a belt that matches the shoes and a great tie gives the impression of looking like he cares about his appearance and takes time to look like a professional instead of a college student. Unfortunately, the last minute detail of appropriate socks often falls by the wayside and ruins that put together look.

Avoid White

The old saying that white matches everything might be appropriate when looking for a shirt that looks good with a suit. That contrast is a good complement in this situation. Unfortunately, when it comes to the socks men wear, white does not match the suit or shoes. Instead, it gives a glaring mismatch contrast in an area that should match and continue without breaking up the leg. As a general rule, unless the suit and shoes a white, men should avoid white socks.

Matching the Shoes

Matching the socks to the formal shoes is a simple matter of using the same base color to prevent a mismatch. If the shoes a brown, wearing brown or black socks is appropriate. For black shoes, men should opt to wear black or dark grey socks. Another key is formality. Formal shoes require formal socks, so men should avoid those sports socks purchases for running.

Matching shoes and socks in formal attire is simple if a few rules are followed.
