Socks are one of the cheapest ways a man can enhance any outfit. If you are really bothered by extra bold colours, choose happy socks in neutral earth colors. Examples of neutral colors are; black, light grey, white, brown, nude and cream. They are best if you want to play it safe. Whether you are going for a wedding, casual work setting, going out with friends or a festival then your happy socks will help you spread joy and cheer that befits the occasion.

Complementary colors

These colors will never go wrong because they complement each other, just as the name states. Based on what you are wearing pick the color of happy socks that will match with your outfit . For example; if you are wearing a sharp blue suit you could wear orange happy socks.

Showing off socks

When showing off your socks make it intentional and minimal. If you are showing off your ankle, try and make it an inch max. You don’t want to show too much and end up looking like a whole clown.
