Suits and Socks, Installment XXXII


It was the late Hardy Amies who wrote that the time to wear loud socks is with an otherwise monochrome ensemble. In the photograph, Bresciani's suitably noisy fire and navy striped cotton hose peek out from under oxblood semi-brogues and navy pinstripes.

Above the waist, a navy oxford weave necktie, white stripes on blue end on end shirt and a white linen pocket square.

Red socks and navy trousers: a wonderful combination.

As long as the red is dark. The navy stripes serve that function here. Looks great—as always.

Will, you could just about start another blog called "Shoes and Socks" (though it would, by necessity, include trousers, the shorter title has more oomph).

While I disagree with Amies' dictum (wear wild socks when the spirit moves you, I believe) those are some wonderful socks. Hmmm, next check is due June 1st . . .
