Chapter 07
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.
Things to Consider
You might look comfortable, but are you actually?
--
The use of band-aids and foot powder are usually a sign
that you are not comfortable.
--
If you sweat, wear socks. Most people sweat.
--
Sockless is not a good business look.
It’s actually not a look at all.
--
Dress shoes and no shows
just don’t go together.
An Achievable Look If
You are of Mediterranean descent.
--
You are an editor at a second rated
men’s fashion magazine.
--
You can pull off a silk neck scarf.
--
You have a permanent tan and
you are related to George Hamilton
--
You belong to a country club of like-minded,
plaid-blazer and-penny-loafer-wearing individuals.
