Then they will tear at the most inopportune moment, then they will crawl with the accordion, then somehow they will be messed up in an incredible way, especially when their owner slept badly. And in a man, everything must be perfect: face, clothes, socks. To avoid such embarrassments, you should buy only quality products, in time to change them to new ones.

For a long time there is a rule of etiquette of clothes, which says that it is necessary to choose the color of socks for trousers, not for shoes. For example:
- If you are going to wear a gray suit with brown shoes. Which socks should I choose: gray or brown?"Definitely gray!"
- Do you plan to wear a blue suit with black shoes?- The best solution is to choose socks dark blue.
- Under black trousers they put on - black, under khaki - khaki.
Important! It is desirable that the socks are slightly darker than trousers.
- When combining light trousers and dark shoes, pick up socks in the color of trousers, but a couple of tones is darker. For example: trousers of beige color, shoes of dark brown, and socks - light brown.

But in that case, they should have something in common with something else: for example, with a tie, shirt or a handkerchief in the breast pocket of the jacket.
So, to the gray suit and red tie you can choose red.
The same applies to socks with a color pattern - for example, with the rhombus "argyle".A gray pair with purple rhombs is suitable for gray pants, if the tie, shirt or shawl is also purple.
Important! It is desirable that the colored items are sufficiently dark: if the shirt is light blue, then the socks are better to pick dark blue.

A few important platitudes

- So, the absence of holes and cleanliness - is not discussed at all. Instead of sewing torn socks, you better get new ones.
- The second point - socks should be the same not only in color, but also in fabric and texture. Many guys, opening their drawer with a heap of black socks, just pull out the first pair, even without looking closely at the fact that the texture of one sock differs from the other. Or one is more faded( due to more washings), and the second is not.
Remember, socks must "live" and "die" in pairs.
