You should match your socks to your trousers.

Really!?

This line of thought was provoked by the pleasure I experienced today when glancing down at my ankles clad in brick-red Donegal, alpca/wool tweed socks beneath widewale corduroy trousers in dark olive and atop dark brown suede chukkas. The color of the socks is roughly repeated in the overcheck on my sage colored glenplaid flannel shirt. Lacking both the required gear and concomitant know-how to depict this, I turn instead below to the always tasteful but equally scintillating blogger, Cleav31, for examples of the possibilities.

Does this mean that one shouldn't match socks to trousers if you've a mind? Of course not! Just that there's a world of possibility depending upon the occasion and your personal preferences.

You know those pics aren't of his own ankles/feet, right?

I blame this thread for the banner ad I got over the weekend (see interchange)!

I didn't. I figured they were his own and I thought the pea gravel background was a nice touch.

Socks can be too much fun to only match trousers.

I figured as much, based on your comment. Member Flanderian has long claimed technological limitations as a reason for only posting pics of other well dressed gentleman, and none of himself. His prerogative, of course.

To the OP....I am curious what the "required gear" would be to be able to post a pic of the wonderful rig you described?

Nice Fair Isle vest.

In all seriousness, you wish your hair had that much color.

Been grey most of my life. Don't mind at all.

A recessive gene evidently as I was the only sibling so blessed. When my youngest daughter developed the same exact nature of greying, at the same age, her response was . . . .

THANKS, DAD!!!

A charming and funny man. Quite missed.

I usually match socks to trousers (try to get similar hue, perhaps one shade darker). Simply because I have many more plain, trouser-colored socks than I do tasteful, colorful, patterned socks (bicycles and airplanes notwithstanding.)
Looks like I need to go shopping...

Some great looking socks in that post! I've only recently started to experiment with colorful and patterned socks. I'm liking it. I could see getting carried away, just like I did with ties.

Today's socks.

 

[Flanderian]

Nice!

 

[Oldsarge]

Nah, there's no way I can find shoes that match very many of my socks.

 

[Flanderian]

socks should match the shoes.

And the winner is . . . . :happy:
