Socks

A wardrobe essential, socks for men range from casual sports socks to smart designs in dark shades for office wear. With a wide range of colors, designs and fabrics to choose from, the Stylight site offers a diverse selection of men's socks. Examples include a colorful stars and stripes design in cotton and spandex, classic style designer label socks in navy blue combed cotton and black skate socks for men in Dri-Fit fabric with arch compression.

Ramp Up Your Business Casual From the Ankles Down

Professional menswear is often dreary — the chinos, button-downs, and blazers of your everyday office wardrobe can quickly become repetitive. Introduce a little color and flair into your day-to-day with a pair of socks full of personality.

Flash a colorfully adorned ankle beneath your stuffy suit for a dose of style in your work wear. Your outfit may be constrained to conservative, but your socks don’t have to be.

Color

When spicing up your sock drawer, start with a few pairs in bold, unexpected colors. Opt for jewel tones, like deep green and rich maroon, if your office is more conservative. Pick an unexpected pastel like lavender or a shocking neon for a creative environment. Keep an eye out for fine-grade textiles, like 100% merino wool or fine-weave cotton, to ensure that your socks are lightweight and breathable.

Pattern

Now that you’ve broken out of your rut, go for a pair of socks that boasts a funky pattern. From stripes to polka dots to funky fish scale patterns, you can find a motif that’s right for you. Show off your passion for music in a pair of socks printed with tiny guitars or your love for a label with a logo pattern. Wear your patterned socks with a solid pant and a classic pair of chunky oxfords to let them sing.

Photo Print

The most advanced level of the un-basic sock game is the photo-printed sock; thin, usually calf length polyester hose emblazoned with photo realistic depictions of your favorite paintings, photographs and patterns. These are definitely bold style choices, but since they’re restricted to the confines of your ankle, they won’t be too much. Keep the rest of your look minimal and enjoy the positive attention your socks will bring.

Don’t let your work wardrobe cramp your style. You may walk into the office with a look that raises no eyebrows, but cross your legs in a pair of these socks, and you’re sure to elicit an admiring gasp or two.
