What am I doing wrong?

I'll tell you what you are doing wrong...

Our subject of the day is - Socks

# 1 Black socks

Guys, please stop using black socks with shorts. It's really gross and a big turn off for most girls anyway. I started to notice that recently at the gym. Feet already get all sweaty from the gym and wearing a black sock I hope I'm miles away from you when you take your shoes off. We get all kinds of unnecessary visual images in our head that will prevent you from getting a date.

• No, they won't look cozy and casual with your sandals.
• No, they won't look stylish with your dress shoes if you're wearing shorts.
• And No you will never represent with you dirty white tennis shoes either.

Ok...I'm starting to feel sick.

It is VERY unattractive and gross! The only time you can get away with black socks is in a suite with black dress shoes. Period.

#2 White socks all the way up

When I see the combination of tall white socks, cargo shorts and Hawaiian shirt I think - American senior citizen or Asian with a digital camera. It's a No-No folks. You don't need to stretch your socks all the way up like that. In fact, if you are going to wear shorts, buy those ankle socks. You can't go wrong with those.

# 3 No socks at all
I understand that choosing the right pair of socks can be overwhelming. But not wearing socks at all is the worst! If this person takes off his shoes, I hope I'm miles away from that. Please, don't even go there.

Then what should I wear with...

Tennis shoes? Ankle socks or short socks




With dress shoes? The rule is to try to match your suit or your pants not your shoes so the visual flows from top to bottom. Unless you are trying to go for Michael Jackson style with the whole black shoes with white socks thing.

With sandals or open toe shoes? First get a pedicure and please, don't wear socks.
