Sock appeal


Recently, I like a number of other gentlemen in the fashion world have been looking for ways in which to spice up my current wardrobe assortment. I stumbled across the topic of this blog entry while vacationing in Spain. My friend and I went over this young woman's house where she was hosting a gathering of her friends. While in the company of these wonderful people, I noticed the socks of a young gentleman while engaged in casual conversation. At first I overlooked them, then it hit me, how mundane the life is of the man whom only wears those traditionally boring white crew socks that you get $6 for $10 @ any local store. The ones that give off no character when your socks happen to show. The ones that when an individual sock is lost, it can not be placed with another lost sock because there is no replacement. I have since gone out of my way to find rather inexpensive ways to accomplish this goal.
Places that I have gone that seem to have the best bang for your buck are H&M, Banana Republic, and J.Crew. I recently purchased 5 pair of socks @ H&M over the past weekend. Take a look and tell me what you think. If you have places to go to get interesting socks that are out of the box, please include in your post.

Thank you kindly,

I'm glad i'm not the only person who's notced this. I make it a point to not wear plain white socks even if they're only some other nondescript color. Kudos for stepping out of the box. It was getting rather lonely out here.
