How does it work? You receive the same socks of the same color sent to you regularly by mail. This saves on sorting after the wash – all the socks match and you don’t have to throw any away just because you’ve lost one.

You know the problem: socks disappear as if by magic, reuniting lost pairs is practically mission impossible, and we are sure that the washing machine eats our socks.

If you are looking for sock subscription service then BLACKSOCKS is the best in market and for a great low price.

We have just received our first couple of pairs of BLACKSOCKS s including the Funky style which we definitely love. We have covered sock subscriptions in the past and whilst the styles were nice the quality was not the best, so much so they had holes in after a couple of uses. However, these are made of the highest quality material and already these have become our best socks. Even though Summer is just around the corner, a stylish man cannot get enough socks.

Filip Pejic, cofounder of Society Socks – a stylish sock subscription with a cause. Partner Sergey and Filip co-founded Society Socks to create a subscription service you could depend on to bring you fun, unique socks, while also impacting the world for good. For every pair of socks a customer buys, the subscription service donates a pair to someone in need.

Most people don’t think about this, but homeless shelters desperately need new sock donations… we decided this was the missing piece. The subscription service sends customers two stylish pairs of socks each month, and donates two to a charity in need. Society Socks have a created a sustainable business model that can consistently provide homeless shelters with a reliable shipment of socks. As the company grows, they will provide more and more charities with much-needed socks. Society Socks donated thousands of pairs of socks this way, and they are just getting started.

Not only is the service great but the mission to give a pair of socks away to those in need is an amazing idea.

This is a great company, brand and service which BeStylish.org highly recommends. We received our socks yesterday and can’t wait to try them on. Gone are the days of the plain black socks, express yourself a little and order some online. Get new ones delivered each month! Not only is the service great but the mission to give a pair of socks away to those in need is an amazing idea.

But why not think of using the socks to our advantage, in respect to our choice of apparel? As trivial as it may seem, a badly chosen sock combination may ruin your image.

So , let’s get started with :

How to match your socks

As a rule of thumb, you match your socks with your shoes, to create a continuum from head to toe.  The elements which need to be in sync are the pants, the shoes and the socks.

If you are bugged on which color your socks must be, bear in mind that black, brown, gray and white go with most colors.

For example,  beige pants with brown shoes go with a pair of regular brown, light brown or dark beige socks, or even a pair of patterned socks that blend any combination of these colors. The thing is avoiding any stark contrast between the pants and shoes.

Speaking of patterned socks

I spoke about right socks that go with a suit in the 7 mistakes article.

Sometimes, you can go crazy, when wearing a suit

Just remember that business suits ask for a complementary color. You just can’t wear light colored socks with dark suits. Sock color luminosity should always be darker than the pants you are wearing.

Here’s a great example of wearing a sock color that is in-between that of the shoes and the pants. It creates a continuity that looks very good to the eye. Remember: shoes are darker than the pants.

Here’s another great example of wearing socks in a bold color, then matching them with the suit.

You can see how the guy above matches the socks with his red striped shirt, by wearing a somehow unusual color : burgundy. He takes no chances and leaves the shoes brown.

OK, now for more advice, for when you are wearing a suit. You should match the sock’s pattern with the shirt, tie or even the pinstripes in your suit.

Let’s say for example that you are wearing a black suit with a red tie and black shoes. You can wear black socks with a subtle red argyle pattern or polka dots.

You are safe as long as the background color of the socks is in tone with your shoes. In official settings, when a suit is mandatory, nylon, cotton or wool socks are the key. The length must be at half-calf so that it won’t be necessary for you to pull them up from time to time.

When you want to be more casual, you can choose the no-show socks. They are fitted right under the ankle, and are barely visible within the shoe.

Match them with sneakers or boat shoes and a stylish pair of shorts.

The main idea is that the rules from the formal attire apply here also; match the colors of your socks’ pattern to another part of your outfit. Let’s analyze for example the classic combo classic blue jeans, black shoes, white T-shirt.

The best pick would be with solid black socks or a black pair that features a subtle blue pattern. Either way, the socks go with the shoes not being in a stark contrast with them.

A final word for casual wear. Make sure you’re not wearing white half calf socks with dark shoes and shorts. This apparel is reserved for hispanic thugs, chollos and members of rap group Cypress Hill.

Do NOT do this. You can see Sen Dog in the pic below dressed like this:

So, my final word would be : don’t screw it up. Socks aren’t such a hard part to master, but carelessness could ruin your outfit. Take care, take note and sort out those socks in your wardrobe.

Sockless outfits are not by any means something new. They’ve been promoted for a long time now and people are either pro or against them.

The thing about them is that you instantly stand out. 99% of the guys wear socks so it’s obvious how not wearing any can draw attention to you.

Not all outfits are created equal, though. You have the formal outfits (suits, dress pants etc.) and you have the casual ones (casual pants, shorts, jeans).

There are only two things to remember about when to go sockless and I’m going to tell you each of them.

The first one is: only go sockless with casual outfits. NEVER wear a suit or dress pants without socks. Formal situations imply that the event you’re attending needs a dose of respect – so make sure you show it.

However, you can go sockless when you’re wearing:

• chinos
• shorts
• jeans

Here’s the other point about not wearing socks.

Feet sweat a lot when inside the shoe. If it’s hot outside and you’re sockless, the whole sweat will be absorbed by the shoe like a sponge.

(This is one of the things socks are good at: absorbing your feets’ sweat)

This means that, after a few hours of wearing your bare feet inside a shoe on a hot day… your shoe will start smelling.

In time the smell will get worse.

So, how can you protect your shoe and still have that sockless look? You have a few options:

• You can wear “no show” socks. These will absorb the perspiration and they’re 100% invisible to the eye (That’s why they’re called “no show”!). Here’s what they look like:
• You can use a foot spray
• Use some foot powder
