What? Really? The distance between sock and tie is much greater, so any matching color would be better distributed. Also, there tends to be much greater difference in material and texture between sock and tie.


For me, it's a question of the sort of person involved.

Tie - PS matching is an everyman faux pas. Sock - tie matching is a special kind of precious.

Like I said, I'd go sockless before doing either.

No, the OneShoe is my own privilege.

Love it.
Ah, but then it's incumbent upon you to demonstrate that they are fundamentally different. I see no real difference and have yet to hear a good argument in favor of one existing.

I have two I think are good, for suits at least: 1) Socks are the what t should least be noticed. 2) Socks that match pants elongate the line.

These two things only apply for suits imo. That's the only time I match socks w/ pants at least.

I've never understood this.

Unless you're full on #menswear (in which case, you have bigger problems), no one can see your socks unless the mythical line is already broker up by your leg being bent, because you're sitting down.

I wore burgundy socks with tan corduroy trousers today. Hope I don't deserve sartorial death.
