The OneSock: Thoughts?

[Eustace Tilley]

I'm tired of buying socks to match my trousers - navy, air force, light / dark gray, tan etc. I'm now considering buying a sock in a single dark color and pairing that with every trouser.

Something like a rich dark brown or a dark hunter green. Any thoughts on this? Certainly don't want to do a dandyish red, pink, gold etc.

A better idea would be a bespoke striped sock containing every color of your trousers.

 

[forex]

Navy or grey and/thread.

I think iammatt posted this brilliant non-idea a few years ago. He only wears navy socks, I think.

I wear just black toe socks

You are looking in the wrong place. One-suit is where it's at!

Nice. Good to know someone agrees with me!

To those who replied gray or navy - that kinda defeats the purpose. Because with trousers of a diferent color, it'll just look like I mismatched the items.

Think something brighter like a plum would be better.

I agree with iammatt re: navy socks. Hard to imagine a situation where they wouldn't work.
Obviously, trying to do this with a brighter colour would be terrible.

But Iammatt did it b/c his nanny kept matching beige with charcoal...or something like that

I find navy only works with navy. I find it odd wearing navy socks with a charcoal suit.

How about going sockless and wearing the OneBalmoralBoot?
