No, not for DT. Does Pantherella make pink cotton/silk socks or are they trying to stay away from the innuendo?

How is this not DT?

Somehow I doubt that most people over 25 are aware of the sexual connotation. Anyway, they have a woman's pink sock on their homepage.

Falke makes them for men. I wore mine once, and under most light they looked white, so I figured they were a bad idea.

I have a pair from Pantherella in a cotton/nylon mix. I wear them with lighter suits, like greys and khaki linen suits.

My pink solids are from Falke, the second pair is from their luxury collection, made from sea island cotton and is available in many different gay colours every summer.

I had to google novelty tie.
What I found made me throw my pink socks in the fireplace...now I don't have any socks at all.

No socks could work well with your usual looks. Flashy socks are a pet peeve of mind, wear yours in good health if you like that. I like some affected looks but this is too much.

I agree. I tried it about twice and realized it sucked.
