What do your socks say about you?
It’s a known fact that people make assumptions about you based on the type of socks you wear. If you want to send a message that you are a creative, independent, powerful person…you can start by changing your socks!
In recent years, socks have become a full-blown fashion statement. In the business world, where conformity is often the norm, wearing bright colored or crazy printed socks is a way to express yourself without stepping too far out of bounds. These socks project creativity and reveal a playful side that can make you appear more fun and approachable to those you meet.
Men have less options than women when it comes to accessorizing, but the wide variety of sock designs available today have given men a creative outlet that didn’t exist before. Socks are now the one area of a man’s wardrobe where anything goes.

- Stripes: These are worn by those who want to make bold statement – without stepping too far out of the box.
- Bright block colors (especially red): Red is a power color – it displays an intention to get things done, which makes it a favorite for business meetings.
