If you know anything about fashion week, you’ll know that as much as there is going on inside the tents, the real action is on the street. And this is no less true for us sartorial loving men. Street-style is about the most organic kind of style there is and it all starts with the feet.
(I’m not about to apologize for the state of my bed, so save your judgement for people still wearing Fubu. I kid. Kind of.) My ankles were feeling particularly sad today so I thought why not put on obnoxiously yellow socks, roll up pants awkwardly high and let them bask in the glory that I’m sure they deserve. But I wasn’t the only ankle exposed fellow meandering about the streets: cuffed pants with bright colored and patterned socks were all over the streets of fashion week.
Plaid isn’t just for your chest anymore god damnit, your ankles deserve to be tartanized too. These checks were spotted outside a show at London fashion week and it was love at first cuff (or would have been had I taken this picture).
Bam. No longer is it enough to just have blue shoes. Men everywhere are stepping up their game with rainbow specked wool socks and men everywhere else are jealous. Again, spotted outside a show in London just last week (again, not by me).
Real men wear pick, especially on there feet. So, according to that logic, boy is this guy a real man. This authentic gentlemen was spotted outside a show in New York city, struttin’ his pink stuff. Tommy Ton is to thank for all these pictures, minus the best first one of me. So, I hope when all the gentlelads put on your next pair of socks you’ll considered dousing them in an offensively bright color and remember: if you can’t see a hint of ankle bone, you’ve cuffed too little. G’night.
