Pattern Mens Socks to Suit You
We will understand the various pattern mens socks to enable us to choose the right category of socks. There are basically two categories of men's socks commonly found; those with patterns and those with weaves. Let's begin to discuss about pattern socks:
Argyle
These are the socks with a sporty feel because of its diamond motifs. These are usually worn for casual occasions.
 
Merino Argyle Sock
So sports jackets and odd trousers would work well with such pattern mens socks. To give it an even better match, coordinating it against a check dress shirt of the same hue or similar hues would create a very blending feel.
Bird’s eye:
An easy to recognize pattern where it covers the socks with closely packed numbers of tiny dots that resembles the eyes of birds.
 
Birdýs Eye Anklet Sock
Such socks are very common and they are always a nice addition for plain mens suits or even mens suits patterns.
Clocks:
Whenever we find single embroidered designs on the sides of the socks, these are what we call clocks socks. There is no specific design to be considered clocks (do not be mistaken that it has to be literally clock designs).
Instead any figurines or artistic designs can be considered as clocks. I personally do not have preference for Clocks especially those with cartoon characters. It pays to have subtle patterns that provide easier coordination against my overall attire.
We will definitely not attain sartorial styling with colorful and funny figurines together with my suits, and neither can it look casually stylish with my sports coats and odd trousers.
Herringbone:
This is a very nice pattern mens socks because it creates texture when placed against plain suits that are dark gray, charcoal, brown or navy. It adds vibrancy and a subtle style to the plainness.
However, we try to avoid such herringbone pattern socks when worn against herringbone or tweed dress pants. The patterns will create a very busy effect to an observer’s view.
Houndstooth:
 
Cotton/Cashmere Houndstooth Anklet Sock
The concept for houndstooth is similar to that of herringbone. But to establish great coordination, we can always match houndstooth mens socks against a houndstooth sports coat but always maintain it with a plain odd trouser (avoid the busy effect between pants and socks).
Dots:
This pattern mens socks create the same effect as bird’s eye. A fantastic way to coordinate with dots is playing with the lighter colors on the dots.
 
Wool Dot Anklet Socks
We can easily use the similar hues color of the sock to match the dress pants while applying the same concept on the dots to match either the ties or dress shirts.
