According to Emily Post we bet you didn’t know this sock fashion fact. Proper sock fashion and etiquette requires the men’s sock color to match the color of the pants and shoes. The sock should be one shade darker then the pants and one shade lighter then the shoes. So men that says to me that in order to remain sane we should have a lot of socks the same color and a couple of pairs of nice shoes. If we try not to complicate things we can stay fashionable.
