Since socks go well with sneakers and trainers that give off a laid-back vibe, why not make use of them to make your typical casual outfit cool and fresh? Think of your usual casual wear like denim jeans and tee, denim shorts and a chambray shirt, army jacket with walking shorts and such that can be complemented by your socks and heels statement. If you feel classic pumps and sandals too formal for your street wear, then wear socks with them to make it cool and intentional.

You may sport a boxy suit, jacket, or even a tuxedo to make it look stylish. When opting for footwear, loafers, oxfords, and brogues are your best choice. Just go for ones with higher heels than the typical flat ones. Blend with the color of your socks with the color of your shoes to avoid looking over-the-top.

Black sock with black shoes, gray socks with gray shoes, white socks with white shoes, and nude socks with nude shoes are all great combinations that will keep you polished and clean. Don’t go overboard with the colors as all you need is some sheer socks that’ll add a subtle touch of glam to your look. Keep the rest of your outfit light and uncomplicated like wearing a black-and-white checkered dress with a pair of black socks-and-shoes or wearing a neutral outfit with a pair of nude socks and shoes. And, if everything is rather monochromatic, bring in a punch of color in the shape of a belt, a brooch or a hat to break up the look.
