For men, socks may be a very neglected clothing category, and the degree of attention is probably even below underwear. However, under normal circumstances, underwear will not be seen, but the probability of socks being seen should be above 90%.
Of course, this means that this sock needs to be eye-catching. If you wear a black sock, it is often “invisible”.
For people who like to wear suits, there is a standard answer to the length of socks, and that is over the calf.
Why is this the standard answer?
There are two reasons, both from the practical point of view.
- No Slippage
The reason why it won’t fall off is because the sock opening is above the thickest part of the leg, on the one hand, it won’t be stretched abnormally large and slack, on the other hand, even if the tightness of the opening is not so perfect, it won’t fall off because it is supported by the calf.
I believe that as long as people care about socks not piling up on their ankles, they all have the experience of seeing them and sorting them out.
- Don’t show your sexy leg hair
As a formal dress, a suit has an attached concept, that is, don’t expose your body’s skin.
If we wear ordinary sports socks, when we sit down, our trousers will naturally go up a little and the skin of our legs will be exposed. And if you have the habit of crossing your legs, the exposed area will be larger. Of course, middle socks, that is, socks that reach the calf, can basically achieve this covering function.
I remember when I first discussed the length of socks with someone, the other person was wearing Over The Calf, and more than that, he also used garters to prevent socks from falling off.
I denied very much at that time, thinking that such long socks were only worn by girls.
But when I really experienced it, I fell in love with it completely. I wore it all day, and I never saw the socks stacked at my ankles again. I don’t need to tidy them up anymore.
Another added benefit is to keep warm.
I am well aware that this kind of socks is very niche in China, but it is really a product with functionality.
I believe it will be accepted by everyone after I point it out and talk more.
