I like all of these! I don't ever get tired of black, especially when the cut and texture is as interesting as it is Tess Giberson's outfit.
The pop of orange is so much fun on Peter Som. I've got my husband wearing fun socks now, and it's always a delightful surprise to catch an unexpected glimpse of color or pattern when he sits down.
I have some black patent loafers languishing in my closet right now with our cold weather. I wonder if I could pull off a rolled jean, bright sock and patent loafers. Would it work on a woman as well as on a man? Might have to try it....
