You got to be kidding.

Mens socks should be plain coloured and preferably black.

The socks in most pics looked like something out of a school kids crayoning book.

PS The watches were good.

Guess you have been living under a rock as colorful bold socks have been in for years now. Black socks quite boring and look like something out of an old age home or perhaps on a stuffy insecure old Scrooge.

You sound like a blast of fun. Not only are you out of touch, but boring.

Bright socks have been around for far longer that 20 years. My father's generation wore them. Don't kid yourself into believing that this is new, dope, or whatever else. It's old as the hills. Even older. He's deceased but would be 106 if he were alive. Personally I've had all sorts of patterned bright socks in the past and most have been disposed of for trying not to look like a clown. Say what you want about dark, dreary, and boring but it's practical and cost efficient. There was an old quote, "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bull shit;" this reminds me if that quote. If one needs bright socks to be interesting then the battle is already lost. Back to my boring life.

Lee I don't need socks to be interesting but do find it fun to wear bright and bold socks. I also dress very conservatively wearing blue or grey suits every day along with white or blue shirts. Of course on casual days I wear patterned shirts and sports coats. So for me to add a bit of color to my socks is not about anything other than adding a bit of color to normal everyday corporate attire. So to each his own of course and I have yet to be called a clown. I stick to tasteful socks that go with suits, shirts and ties I am wearing. So if black or blue is preferable have at it and lots of different style and taste in the very large world of ours!

13 stars for the original 13 states.

Keep those lovely pics coming gentlemen.

The greatest thing about fashion is that it's open to everyone. In all, we're just looking to have a good time and bring joy to our lives. If bold socks aren't your thing, it's totally cool.
