Find Out Why White Socks Are For Suckers

White socks are simply not a man's thing

White socks are simply not a man's thing. This one of the fast hard rules that continues to inspire a lot of debate in a number of men fashion forums online. Irrespective of the hullabaloo surrounding this controversial issue, I stand by the rule, unwritten or not and I hope to maintain my stand 10, 20 years from now.

This is simply an enduring male fashion rule as unarguable as matching your shoes with your belt, and if you haven't subscribed to it already, this article will drive enough sense for you to see why. Below are four major reasons beyond the sporting sphere, why white socks are not a man's thing.

White socks don't blend with anything

Unless you're Mr. Bean or own acreages of sugar plantations in the 21 st century Guatemala, then you probably don't frequently wear snowy white underpants. Therefore, if you don't wear white undergarments regularly then chances are your white socks don't blend with almost everything in your wardrobe. Beyond formal wear, you most likely wear the same pants that ninety per cent of the male folk does and here I mean jeans, usually with flat front casual pants to mix and khakis.

If you've read and understand the men's style guide then you know that your pants and socks should always match and for the daring dressers your pants pocket square. Consequently, if you have a closet drawer filled with balled up whites; then they're conflicting with almost everything you have in your wardrobe. My advice is that you invest in a nice assortment of blues, grays and black socks that will blend with your wardrobe well.

Whities soil fast

Any person who's made the blunder of wearing white undergarments to a night out with a hot date understands too well how stains can become extremely embarrassing on a white background. The shame that comes from wearing whities is similar, just less traumatic and especially during winter, the time when snow muck is all over and hosts everywhere are into the "Please remove your shoes" habit.

Therefore, next time you pull out a pair of whities prior to attending that house party you've been invited to, picture this scenario unfolding " The host of the party introduces you to a hot Swede business lawyer, who you quickly establish rapport with and proceed to seduce with your sharp wits and captivating anecdotes.

As the cutie warms up to your company and you cozy up on the chaise longue together, you stretch your legs to recline...only to reveal a stray string of pasta that has been ferried from the floor of your kitchen on the toes of your majestic whities. If you'd worn darker socks, she most likely wouldn't have noticed it and you'd have had the shot at showing the stains on your boxers to her instead.

White socks are sportswear

Whether deliberate or not, white socks are considered sportswear, and are now popularly perceived as such. Therefore, just as you wouldn't dare wearing your dinner jacket on top of your hockey jersey, neither should you ever think of wearing your designer jeans or wingtips with white socks. White socks blend well with athletic apparel such as track pants, running shoes and athletic shorts. With everything else they simply look outrageous.
