There’s nothing more embarrassing than writing an article reminding adult men about the importance of wearing socks! I have noticed that some people still wear socks that don’t match, have holes or visible stains on them. Seriously, when will men get it right and learn that socks are just as important as underwear.Do you know that some men find themselves at that catch-22 situation when they are faced with a scenario that requires them to take their shoes off? When Samy Liechti, the proprietor of Black Socks Company left his home, he wasn’t aware that it would be the worst day of his life.  He was invited to a Japanese Tea house and everything was okay until he removed his shoes. He not only noticed that he was wearing mismatched socks, but they were torn and dirty too. The embarrassment was so bad that it drove him to start a socks company! Do not wait to get into such a sticky situation. Choose to be among the men who care about their appearance. Get rid of all socks that look like Swiss cheese and replace them with fresh new pairs. Socks go through a lot of wear and tear, and since they are usually not made from the best-quality cotton, they easily get holes. You should buy new socks at least once every three months. When buying men’s socks the most important thing to remember is buying the right size. Ensure that the heels of your socks are exactly where your heel is.Mind the color because that can kill the entire outfit. Dark colors are the best for a professional look while colourful ones are great on casual outfits. Avoid jokey colors like neon green, hot pink and bright red. White socks should be strictly for sports and only worn with sports shoes. Make sure the socks are long enough in order to avoid exposing your skin. Socks with holes only portray that you were either too lazy to go buy a new pair, or worse, you can’t afford a pair. These holed items will be devastation to your outfit no matter how great the outfit looks. So go buy a pair now if you are guilty of this crime.
