Going Sockless
Commando Ankles.
If you wear bespoke shoes, you can do whatever you want. You’ve paid your dues, and won’t look like you crashed on a friend’s couch and forgot to throw on socks. Basically, at some point you have to put in a little effort to successfully pull off the effortless look.
Socksless: Consider it a faux-pas and resort to a proper ankle sock in a fine gage mercerized cotton.
