That's a great idea until you get into cases like:
light colored pants with low shoes (you need light socks)
dark colored pants with low shoes (you need dark socks)
running (you need thin socks with no seams)
hiking (you need hiking socks, or at least thicker ones, and probably two pairs that you can wear at the same time, and multiple sets)
cycling (you can use the same ones you use for running, but your generic black socks probably won't do it)
Only a heathen would wear the same socks in all of these circumstances.
- ams6110 10y agoI wear blue jeans almost exclusively. And I don't run, cycle, or hike. So this is a very workable idea.
- IgorPartola 10y agoMatching socks to pants vs to shoes is its own debate, but that's why I picked the socks I did: they are great for exercising, black in color, so go well with jeans and also go well with my black and white Chucks. I do have several pairs of specialty socks: a pair for dressy occasions, a very thick woolen pair for extreme cold, and a couple of pairs of taller socks for when I need the extra protection. That works just fine because I pull those out roughly three times a year so there is very little matching to do. Obviously, this is not the fashion forward thing to do, but I think for working in a casual setting and meeting friends for a beer once in a while it works just fine.
