The coming of warmer weather means that cotton socks come into their own. I choose herringbone or pick and pick patterned hose for myself most of the time on sunny days. They provide a slight change in color and pattern that is just enough to make the ankles more interesting without drawing and holding the eye of the observer.
This subtlety of course might be considered at odds with an occasional choice of bolder colors. But that is the fun of it after all. A man should not wear a solid necktie every day, nor should he get too attached to red socks.
In the photo, gray pick and pick hose paired with Cleverley slip-on shoes and a mid-weight suit in gray worsted. Shall we go for a walk?

A man should not "get too attached to red socks." LOL I guess that means I will have to go shopping for some pale blue and some pearl grey ones, then.
Speaking of pale blue, they are quite difficult find. I did get lilac some years back, never pale blue.
Vertical stripes (like yours in the photo) used be available all over the place, now not so much.
Light blue and lavender?

You're not wearing those with all this rain I hope.
Good looking ASW socks, Will. I may have to send you an order after the first, along with replacing my red boutonnière that somehow popped off and disappeared on the way home from church last month. Drat!
