Chapter 06:
Can’t-go-wrong Combos
A style for every occasion.
Good style, like good manners, means having a personality, but not being overbearing. A sense of humor, without being rude. It’s knowing what’s appropriate for any given situation — and adding your own je ne sais quoi.
Formal Attire
Suit
Wear black socks with a black suit, navy with navy, black or grey with grey.
Khaki Suit
Tan socks are fail-safe and fool-proof.<br>Black is a bad idea. Navy or red socks work.
Tux
Black socks with black slacks. If you’re going with the showbiz all-white suit, wear white dress socks with white shoes.
Casual Attire
Denim
Keep socks a shade darker than your jeans so they aren’t glaringly bright, unless you’re doing it intentionally.
Shorts
Ankle socks or no shows. Or go bold with a higher sock for a more retro Royal Tenenbaums look. Just don’t wear dress socks.
