Socks... To Match? or Not to Match?...

That is (among) the questions, our style experts here at ForTheFit.com are asked most often.

"Should I match my socks to my pants? My shirt? My shoes?? Wear whatever is clean? Help!!!"

Unfortunately, there is no one, perfect answer. Heck, mostly it's up to you. But, we'll do our best to dispel the myths, offer the basics, and get you taking a step in the right direction for you!

There is one, hard, fast rule: DON’T match your socks to your shoes, this blurs the line between your feet and your legs. Makes you look shorter. Just don't do it.

If you are a dapper, dressy sort, then consider this: DO match your socks to your pants. Black Suit= Black Socks. Navy trouser= Navy socks.

Khaki Pants= Khaki... STOP. See Below.

For a more casual look, and for dressy looks if you are the more stylish type : DO match your socks to an accessory such as a tie or pocket square, or for the khaki pants example, match to your shirt. DO opt for subtle patterns that are in step with the rest of your outfit.

At ForTheFit.com, we have both solids (to match our best-selling dress trousers) and patterns to rock those khaki's and jeans! Best of all, our socks are available in the impossible to find men's size Small (5-8) .

Also, remember that Father's Day is around the corner (June 20, 2010!). Socks don't usually rank high on anyone's gift list, but if your Dad is still wearing Khaki or White socks with everything, maybe it's time to give him a leg-up! Try some patterns and other fun styles!
