CALZITALY STYLE WEEK: SOCKS AND ANKLE SOCKS – PART 3

After having explored the complicate world of women (if you have not read our previous article yet click here), the third and last article of our Calzitaly Style Week is thoroughly dedicated to the male world, with style tips for any type of man.

FOR HIM: DARE WITH STYLE

It is said that men are simpler than women, but combining socks to an outfit is not so simple as it is thought to be: some little tricks are necessary, above all if you choose to wear patterned socks.

The blog Thethref claims that you men have endless choices to style your feet, from tone-on-tone to patterned socks, with which you have to ironically play with style.

As we did in the previous article, we have selected some outfits according to the type of man we want to show.


THE MAN WITHOUT SOCKS

There are men who prefer to show bare leg, even if fashion experts do not recommend it for formal occasions.
If they do not want to wear socks they could choose invisible shoe liners, worn with shoes or loafers.

On the contrary, there are men who cannot renounce socks and have a wide range of choices in front of them, which they have to style according to the occasion and the outfit.


THE SPORTSMAN

If you are jeans-aholic and your look is more casual, you have many possibilities at hand, for example spotty colourful socks, worn with jeans and a plain or patterned t-shirt. 

In this latter case you should be careful about the pattern you wear: we do not recommend polka dots with a striped t-shirt, but a pattern which recalls the colour of the socks.

THE ELEGANT MAN

RealMenStyle
If, for working purposes or personal tastes, you often wear suits, you have to be careful not only about the pattern, but also the colour and material.

Usually liner or ankle socks should not be worn with elegant suits, because showing bare legs is not considered an appropriate choice. Socks should be half-calf or knee-highand made with light or mercerised cotton.

Rules are not so strict about the socks colour, what Is important is that it has to give an “harmonious contrast”. Plain colour is easier to match, you should be careful about shoes and suit colours.

Recommended Match: brown shoes with grey socks and light grey suit, or dark blue socks with grey suit.

If you want to dare, instead, do it with style!

Colourful or patterned socks should match the colour or pattern of what you are wearing. 

Here for example striped socks are combined with two suits, the blue and light blue of the socks matches perfectly the tie and shirt colour.

Style Corriere

These years wearing colourful and patterned socks is becoming more and more fashionable, but fashion experts do not recommend that you should wear them for very formal occasions. 
We think instead that… a bit of happiness and transgression have never hurt anybody 😉


That’s all folks! The last article of our Calzitaly Style Week has come to an end. If you have not read them yet, take a look at our previous article about female outfits, where we have shown some ideas and styles for your days and nights.

Now it is your turn to find your personal style in order to be unique in every moment and occasion!
Let your creativity be free: choose your socks and “be happy!”

CALZITALY STYLE WEEK: SOCKS AND ANKLE SOCKS - PART 1

Today we begin the first appointment with Calzitaly Style Week, our fashion column which offers style tips in a week. 
This week our main characters are socks and ankle socks: today we introduce this topic which will be followed by three articles published through the week: the world of socks, style tips for her, style tips for him.


SOCKS AND ANKLE SOCKS: PAINT YOUR DAYS!

If you leaf through the review Cosmopolitan you could run into fashion articles about socks. One of these articles published the results of a scientific study, which confirmed that people who wear colourful socks are more optimist, happy and creative. 

And given that in this period happiness seams disappeared, why don’t dare a bit?

During summer, views about socks are deeply controversial: there are people who cannot even think to cover their feet, and other who could not renounce them, and follows the new trends, painting their feet with the most various patterns.
We are not talking only about women: since fashion trends introduced the discussed “turn-ups”, the choice of the right socks has been getting more and more difficult and more and an increasing number of men want to “be optimistic” and choose patterned socks.


People who don’t want to show their socks, but they have to wear them with their shoes, could opt for invisible shoe liners, really helpful in these cases, and available online for every size, taste and colour. 



People who, instead, love socks and want to show them, have several possibilities, which we will show during this week.

FOR HER: ON A PLAIN DAY

There are women who love plain colours, women who love patterns, women who wear half-calf socks and women who prefer ankle socks. In this article we will give style advices for every woman and every taste.
Let’s begin with plain colour socks, without pattern, but with some particular characteristics which could give a special touch to your outfit.


We are talking about pelerine socks, worn here with a pastel tones shirt and a skirt: your summer outfit!

If, instead, you are jeans-aholic and are a street style girl, you could opt for the must-have of spring-summer 2017: fishnet socks! Choose your favourite colour and wear them with a pair of white sneakers or Vans OldSkool.

One of the most discussed style during these years is Socks + Sandals.
There’s no accounting for taste, but, if worn with some tricks, can give a chic touch to your outfit.

Little example of “tricks”: sandals with heels (!absolutely!) and a below the knee skirt.
 IG - cm.enroute







On your elegant evenings combine a pair of black and silver lurex socks with shiny sandals and a black nice dress.

For your days out wear a pair of pelerine socks with sandals in pastel tones and a pink dress. 








Who is still not convinced about this match can take a look to the photos of the 2017 Cannes Festival. You will find a super elegant Kendall Jenner on the Red Carpet, with a Gaimbattista Valli’s dress worn with sheer socks and sandals with heels.
