Long men's socks: how to choose and what to wear with?

Updates to fashion trends expand the "horizons" of men's wardrobe and choice. The variety of looks provides an opportunity for a vivid demonstration of the appearance. Pay attention first of all to the socks. A seemingly inconspicuous accessory can make you stand out from the crowd.

Fashion is dynamic. Short socks have faded into the background, now high ones have taken their place. With what to wear them and how to choose?

• How To Wear Socks With Shorts For Men? - Buy thick cotton socks with a print or black, solid colors. Tall ones will be a great addition to any outfit. They not only warm the legs, but also add zest to the image.

• How to pair them with boots? - Fashion designers are advised to purchase colored socks that will match the color of shoes or trousers.

• What to look for when buying for wearing with trousers rolled up? - It is important to take into account that fashionable socks with illustrations or unusual patterns, which immediately catch the eye with their extravagance, will look very advantageous here. In the summer, it is advised to buy those that are striped or in a cage.

• How to pair with sandals to keep it trendy? - When choosing this type of shoe, you should think over the image in advance and purchase accessories such as a scarf, hat or gloves that match the tone.

With the right choice of this accessory, you should first analyze the content of the fabric. Obviously, almost all socks are made from a mixture of different materials. Assessing the merits and demerits of each type of fabric will help you make the right decision. As mentioned earlier, socks are made from cotton, wool, bamboo fiber, synthetics and other raw materials. Most often, a natural kind of fabric is mixed with a synthetic one so that the accessory will serve the consumer as long as possible. People who associate their lives with sports activities almost always buy cotton, others, for example, from flax - they are practical in any weather, but their noticeable drawback is the narrowness of the choice of colors.

• Merino wool. Wool is usually associated with the cold season, but merino is so breathable that it can be worn all the time. It is more expensive than cotton, acrylic and nylon, but more durable.
• Acrylic and cotton. Less expensive than wool, but versatile. They are practical, easy to use and dry quickly.
• Nylon mixes up with other fabrics ranging from 20% to 50%. It provides durability and dries quickly.
• Elastane, Spandex or Lycra. These ingredients provide elasticity and allow the sock to stretch properly. Often in the composition from 2% to 5%.

Different lengths and lack of standards sometimes lead to a dead end when choosing. In order not to get confused and get the right model, it is important to read some tips.

• It happens that long socks to the calf often slip off, then it is recommended to use special suspenders.

• When choosing a color, you should correlate the tone of the socks with the shade of the shoes and buy those that are lighter.

• White options should only be worn in conjunction with athletic shoes.

• Poisonous neon socks can be smartly combined with formal suits to add a bright accent to the image.

• It is recommended to wear blue socks if the outfit includes jeans.

• The print should at least slightly match the print on the tie or scarf.

If the advice did not help, but only confused, then you should use the "universal rules" for the selection of socks that will never fail. They are used by both fashion designers and designers, and people who are not associated with the fashion industry.

• You should choose socks that will match the color or tone of the clothes you are going to wear with them.

• Both diplomatic protocol and fashion critics have established that whites should be replaced by blacks in a business dress.

• If you choose with a print, then you should pay attention to the size, shape and meaning of the drawings. It is recommended to stick with small images or brand logos.

• The versatile colors you'll (more than likely) ever need are gray, navy blue, black, and possibly olive brown. Gray and navy are part of the capsule wardrobe.

• It is important to consider the length, as the trousers are slightly lifted up when you sit. That is why long men's socks are not only stylish, but also practical - they should be preferred.

• It is necessary to pay attention to the elastic band. It should not be too tight, so as not to press and interfere with blood circulation. You should also avoid overly elastic bands that wear out quickly.

• Comfortable and of higher quality are those made of cotton, wool, bamboo fiber with the addition of elastane. If we are talking about cold seasons, then preference should be given to those made of natural wool. It is better to abandon synthetics altogether or limit yourself to a small amount of percent in the composition.

• The thicker the fabric, the more cushioning, especially when there is a lot of wool in it. Thicker ones are also warmer.

• Socks can also be used as a "fixture" for fitting shoes. If it's too roomy, try a slightly thicker one. If too tight, wear thinner ones.

• When in doubt, stick to black.

• Make sure your socks fit together and have no visible holes. It's obvious, but it's easy to make a mistake.

Are there three commonplace but golden rules to follow? What do fashion designers say and advice designers to those who want to be neat and stylish, but do not want to strain, following the fashion?

Success secrets:

• you should not pick up a similar pair if one is lost;
• accessories with holes should be immediately put into the trash bin;
• socks should be changed every day as it is hygienic.

If we are talking about unusual gifts, then we can think of funny accessories, but how can you choose the right one without knowing the parameters? The answer can be found in the system of the ratio of the sizes of socks and shoe sizes (RF).

Compliance system:

• size n. - 23, size about. - 36–37;
• size n. - 25, size about. - 38-40;
• size n. - 27, size about. - 41–43;
• size n. - 29-30, size about. - 43–47.

Matching socks are not only a practical way to keep your feet warm, but also a stylish, fun element of any outfit. Thus, it is important to note that the past fashion standards are long gone, in their place is now an individual selection of socks for a specific image.

When buying, it is worth looking at:

• on the price;
• on the composition of the fabric;
• for quality;
• by color;
• to print.

Socks can be viewed as a minor detail, but it's important to remember that small things and details often make a big difference.
