For example, in Japanese, there is a metaphorical expression called ‘being looked at the feet,’ which means having your key weaknesses discovered. No matter how high-class your suit is, if your shoes are inappropriate, you cannot leave a good impression on others.

Of course, choosing shoes that match your suit is crucial for creating a good image, but selecting socks with the right style, material, and length to match the suit is also very important.

Especially for those who think, ‘No one will see them anyway,’ and wear the same color every day, you need to be particularly careful about this point.

First, when wearing a formal suit, it is generally best to avoid wearing pants that are too short, which reveal skin, and thick rubber socks that crease easily.

The basic rule for socks worn with a suit is to use long socks called a ‘Long Hose,’ choosing either a solid color or simple small patterns. The logo should not be conspicuous, giving a clean and tidy appearance to the wearer.

Currently, tapered pants, which narrow at the hem, are becoming popular. The length of the pants is just enough for the hem to slightly touch the back of the shoes.

With this length, a small portion of the ankle is visible, so choosing the right socks to connect the pants and shoes is important.

The key point in choosing sock colors is to match them with the suit, not the shoes.

This way of choosing colors helps prevent the socks from standing out too much and allows them to blend with the overall outfit, giving a sharp appearance and making the legs look longer.
