What color socks should I wear with my suit?Updated 6 months ago

Great question and the answer really depends on how formal your event is and what color suit and shoes you will be wearing. 

Black Tuxedo + Patent Leather ShoesBlack Argyle Socks

For this combination we recommend the classic: black socks. However, if you're modernizing tradition and opting for flat black leather shoes or perhaps the wedding party will be wearint tuxedos but you aren't hosting a "black tie event," have fun with your socks but keep black in the mix. A fun sock with black in it would also be a great option if you'll be wearing a black suit.


 

Blue SuitBlue Patterned Socks + Brown Shoes 


Here, patterns are your friend. Keep in mind the other colors of the wedding: the flowers, the bridesmaids dresses, etc. Incorporating these colors into the patterns of the socks will look trendy. 




Matching Socks + Tie
Gray Suit + Brown Shoes 


For this look, we recommend searching for a sock option that matches or compliments your tie color. Popular sock color choices include dusty blue, sage green and navy. 





Matching Pants + SocksGray Suit + Black Shoes


If you're pairing a charcoal or light grey suit with black shoes you're likely going for a more sohpisticated and classy look. In this case, we recommend keeping colors simple by wearing matching gray or black socks.
