Should socks match your shirt, your pants, or your shoes? For example, if I wear a blue button down tee, tan chinos, and tan suede shoes; can I wear blue socks?

usually they should match your pants.

>> No.6759975

match it with pants if you want your legs to seem longer, but you can match to shoes too.

>> No.6759984

you can match to pants if you want it to be seamless, match to shirt if you want it to stand out but still not be really obvious, or use a completely different color to complement the outfit/use socks as the "statement piece" so to speak

it's all subjective. Pants is the best way to go if you aren't confident in your pallette.

is wearing dif colored socks effay?

Like, if I'm wearing dark neutral colors, can I rock a pair of red socks just to make myself pop a little bit? is that frowned upon?

Of course the socks would be visable via cuffs or sitting down causing the jeans to ride up

So always match to pants... got it.
>>6759975 I'm 6'5" so long legs is not an issue.

Fuck it, I might just go with a sock-less look tomorrow.

My final fuccboi question; what color belt goes with white shoes?

>> No.6760010

>>6759990
outfit by outfit basis imo
in general if it looks good go for it

i didnt say that

>>6759984 Oh cool, the sock/shirt combo I'm going for have similar shades.

im struggling to think of an outfit that would look good with white shoes that requires a belt

So if it needs a belt, Idk if you should really be wearing white shoes. They don't go well with most button downs imo.

>> No.6760063

>>6760025 Sorry, I have a tendency to over simplify things. I don't want it to seem like I'm not fully taking everyone's advice; I appreciate all of your answers to this sock question.

So the /fa/ consensus is to:
Match to pants for a seamless look and to make legs look longer.
Matching to shoes is acceptable.
Match to shirt to make the socks be the "statement piece".

TY /fa/ for helping me out.

>>6760037 Well, I'm super skinny and super tall; I need a belt to make sure my pants stay up. Usually I'll wear white shoes (vans to clarify), no socks, chinos (either tan or blue) and then a white tee (plain or button down). I just match the belt to the pants.

>> No.6760292

>>6760094
yeah thats fine

belt blending in with pants is a good way to go in that situation

>> No.6760318

how about matching socks with your tie?

>> No.6760860

>>6760094
If you need a belt to hold up your pants, that means they don't fit. Belt should match shoes, typically. If your shoes aren't black or brown you can ignore this rule. (relatively)

As far as socks matching your pants, that doesn't mean they have to be the same color. They can still "match"
