Bold socks with loud colors and crazy patterns have become extremely popular over the past couple of years, but does that mean you should wear them? I’m going to share my thoughts about if and when men should wear bold, fun socks. I’ll also talk about when not to wear them, which is very important because I’ve seen lots of guys making this mistake. Traditional socks are solid colors or tasteful, subtle patterns in, well traditional colors (usually subdued and not overly saturated). Bold socks, on the other hand, feature non-traditional patterns and brighter colors. When you wear bold socks, you’re saying, “Hey everyone, look at my socks!” In other words, you’re calling attention to yourself, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But there are certain situations in which you shouldn’t do this. For example: Funerals, job interviews and formal business environments. Of course, there are plenty of situations where fun, attention-grabbing socks are not only appropriate, but a great way to set yourself apart from the crowd (weddings, parties, going out, etc.). Just be careful not to overdue it. Treat bold socks like any other accessory (pocket square, watch, etc.). If you wear too many accessories at the same time, you run the risk of looking like you're trying to hard or, even worse, wearing a costume! — SHOP THE VIDEO ▪ T-shirt → http://fave
