Stop wearing dress shoes (oxfords, brogues, monks) without socks!!!!

[LabelKing]

For a long time I felt without style or grace Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather

I try to not get bothered by other people's clothes, but this is pretty low on my list.
Jackets with Jeans an narrow lapels bug me more.

I don't understand this puritanical objection to exposed ankles.

Also, if the first thing you think of about feet is smell, there's more to worry about than socks.

I only wear loafers without socks, but there's no reason your shoes should smell if you wash your feet. None of my shoes smell. Even the Vibram Fivefingers I wear in the gym don't smell.

I wear dress socks without shoes. Is that appropriate?

Depends. Do you wear them with office pants? (still trying to figure out what "office pants" is, btw)

Is this really a problem? I was thinking of matching some casual blazers (cotton/linen) with dressy dark jeans (i.e Rag & Bone) for very casual environments where I want to dress up a little bit but not be completely out of place.

I'm wearing sockless loafers right now, so damn me.

Because some Japanese dude is copying some idiot in Italy who thinks he is styling wearing a three piece suit, brogues and no socks, does not mean that you have to do it. Sweat in said leather lined shoes is also not a good thing. Please stop wearing sportcoats, suits, the whole nine yards and then go sockless. I repeat, you do not look good. If it's leather and a leather sole, has a heel and you have to lace it, wear some phucking socks.

Thanks for having the courage to say it loud and proud....
