A while ago, I went somewhere where u had to wear a button down and slacks.
I wore gray slacks but I could not find my black socks. Fuck it, I wore my brown socks.
And guess what?
Nobody looked twice.
Ok ok I really have no way of knowing that… but nobody said anything to me about it. I wasn’t wearing highwater pants anyway, so my socks were covered most of the time.
One time as an experiment I even wore two socks that didn’t match each other.
Nothing.
Now don’t get me wrong, I know which colors go with which, but if you’re wearing dress socks that don’t go with your outfit, it’s not that big a deal.
Sorry, don’t agree at all. If I am in a meeting with a man and his legs are crossed so that I could see socks, I would notice and laugh to myself. Same goes for a date. I wouldn’t risk it.

I’m with Ms. Madeline on this one. I’m no fashion geek, but I do try to match my socks to each other and my outfit. Went so far at one point I really dumbed it down and had only black or white socks. Getting dressed at 6am, it made it easier to match socks with outfit.
And if I notice someone that has mismatched socks, there is internal chuckling going on (at least I HOPE it stays internal), but I’m certainly not going to call them out on it. Of course, the older I get, the fewer fucks I have to give, so one never knows . . .

Right. I’m almost 43. And this was tongue in cheek. I do match, but I don’t think it’s the end of the world if I don’t

Oh, I’ve moved on from my black & white days. Even been talking with people at work, crossed my legs only to find I have 1 gray & 1 blue sock on. Sometimes argyles are easier. Be a hoot to mismatch those!

I agree with Brian and Madeline.

A friend of mine wears brightly colored socks (stripes, patterns, designs) with all his long pants. He does it for fun. Once, in church, I took a pic of his socks without him knowing. Fun for me too.
