The art of matching socks and shoes

Art is in the details. It is the pearl that brings 'The Girl with the Pearl' and it is the facial expressions and postures of the marksmen that bring 'The Night Watch' to life. And a beautiful, uniform outfit - that is in the accessories. The ring(s), the watch and the socks.

Combining colors

Where a dark blue or burgundy sock is very elegant in a pair of black men's shoes, a black sock in a white shoe (or vice versa) breaks up the look. This is in finding colours that are approximately in the same corner of the colour palette. The advice here is usually to match the sock with the trousers, not with the shoe. If you combine the right colours, you can even make the legs look longer, because you wear a uniform colour over the entire leg.

Tastes differ

If you thought that men's socks were an unchangeable fashion item, you're wrong. Where high, white socks in sandals or low sneakers were really not allowed before, you suddenly see them appearing more and more in the streets. But tastes differ of course. Maybe you like to combine a fairly tight outfit with a funny, more casual sock . Feel free to experiment and see what suits your style.

No-show men's socks

Maybe you don't want to see your socks at all, but you also don't want your heel to rub against the back of your shoe. For example in a summer outfit, when you want to pair your sneaker with shorts, or your long pants with a loafer. Then sneaker and no-show men's socks are a good idea. These are for example extremely suitable for loafers, low sneakers and low, neat shoes.

Texture

It may seem like a small detail, but when you start paying attention, it makes sense: the texture of your socks matters. You can imagine that thick sneaker socks don’t go well with most shoes and aren’t really comfortable to walk in. Beautiful, smooth cotton refines your look for a work of art of an outfit. With a comfortable elastic at the top, you’re also assured of a sock that won’t slip off. Stylish and comfortable!

Art in perfection

A carefully put together outfit is something you can pick out of any awards show on television, any wedding you attend. You can tell if an outfit has been thought through, if everything fits and works together. By putting effort into the details (like your socks) and taking care of them, you present yourself as your best self – every time. What an art.
