Shorts

For a street look with your shorts, make sure you wear socks that are not revealing. This can either be worn with Vans or All Star Chuck Tailor sneakers, just make sure the socks are secret.

Chinos

For a semi-casual look which works better with chinos and Grasshoppers or boat shoes, medium socks would do. Avoid happy socks as they’re usually loud with colours and might confuse your look.

With trousers and monk straps, you can pull off an awesome formal look. This is where happy socks come it, to bring out playfulness without being too formal.

Suit pants are worn better with dark coloured socks such as navy blue or black. Cap toe oxfords and wing tips are the best shoes to complete the look.
