Another frequently asked question: what should men wear on their feet when they are wearing shorts? Well, unless they are engaging in a sport and are wearing the appropriate gear, wearing white terry cotton sports socks and sneakers with shorts is completely unacceptable. And – notwithstanding the fact that it is done all the time in western and northern Europe – wearing any form of sock with a sandal and shorts is also taboo.
There are only 2 stylish options:
- A pair of sandals, thongs or mules without socks
- A pair of fashion sneakers with “invisible socks”
Invisible socks are socks that cover your foot alone. They lie below the ankle bone and barely peek out from above a sneaker. The result is the comfort of a sock without looking like you are wearing one.
Please inform any gents that you know who seem to be struggling with this issue – they might be grateful for the information!
