Fun Socks for 2012!

I was doing a little reconnaissance work in the Galleria last week checking out the latest collections from the likes of Ralph Lauren, Georgio Armani, Tom Ford and the Brethren Brooks and decided to add a little extra flavor to my sock drawer.  Socks can be a fun way to spruce up your wardrobe without taking a major hit to the pocket book.  All the socks pictured below were acquired for less than $13.00/pair.  And the blue/red stripe jobs were on sale at Brooks for $7.00.  How could I not pounce on them.

So next time you find yourself in the mall or a nice men's shop, see if they've got the socks on sale...then grab a couple of pairs.  A well dressed man is dressed head to toe.  You don't have to go for color or stripes, just make sure your hosiery has no holes, is close to the original color and never, ever under any circumstances should your socks slide down to reveal some skin when you cross your legs.  Remember, even if you've paid big money for a suit, shirt and tie, never relax your attention to detail in your socks, shoes or belt.  Buy quality and show the world that you care about your personal representation.  Have some fun and spend a little time this year on the details that will round out your wardrobe properly.
