Since the economy sucks and I still have no stable job, it has gotten increasingly difficult for me to go shopping and thus, post goodies on this here blog. Actually, I guess the point of this site is to post good deals... fabulous goodies for cheap. The things I have been buying are indeed fabulous but unfortunately not so cheap.
ANYWAY. The point is that this site is lacking fresh juice, so I've decided to add a Doodies and Donts section which will offer simple, everyday fashion advice for those that don't know better. Today's topic is Socks.
When in doubt, go for black.
I've spent a lot of time, seriously, thinking about when there would be an occasion where white socks would be okay but black socks would not. I could not think of a single instance, except maybe when we are talking about an exercise outfit, which doesn't concern me cause I don't exercise.
Anyway, nothing pains me more than to see a man wearing a nice suit with a great shirt and tie and... WHITE SOCKS. So gross. Never okay. If you are buying socks to wear with slacks, trousers, dark pants, dark jeans, you should just buy black socks. It's that easy. Once you feel comfortable with black socks, you can experiment with navy, dark grey, or dark colors with subtle prints. Once you graduate from there, you can play with contrasting colors like red or yellow... but note, most people cannot pull off this look so it's probably better not to try.
All of the above applies to women as well.
And just to clarify, we are talking about black dress socks. We are not talking about black Nike socks and we are not talking about black polyester molester man socks and and we are not talking about faded black socks with holes. If you are going to spend the time and money and effort to look good, make sure you don't kill it by reaching for the white.
