I have noticed the latest trend in high fashion for men, wearing their $2000.00 Italian made shoes without socks. This is from the wonderful fashion blog http://www.thesartorialist.com/ owned by photographer Scott Schuman. I adore him and his blog and photos, but this sock trend is simply twisted.
The gym dude:
The traveling man from Scotland:
The busy dude waiting for the train:
He may have pedi's on, but nonetheless, ankles are not men's best feature.
The confused dude in serious need of a leg wax:
The embarrassed dude trying to look busy, but heard showing lots of ankle was the latest trend. His mom made him wear the knee-highs.
An assortment of looks, in search of a wardrobe:
These are "Rons" shoes: I should note he was extremely exited upon hearing about this sock less trend.
Now, if a man wants to go sock less, I suggest these options: bedroom slippers, deck shoes, as in we are on the boat, or flippers. Anything else does not work. I don't care if the ensemble was put together by Lagerfeld and cost 10 grand. Here you go:
Big shout out to Scott Schulman, his elagent blog, great photographers, fabulous wife, also great blog.

Socklessness -- fad or logic?
ReplyDeleteBack in the Sixties, seeing that socks were becoming delete options, Bare/Foot/Gear developed its first product: sockless leather sneakers.
The sockless concept is now universal but Bare/Foot/Gear Corporation was destroyed. It was taken over by Bridgestone Rubber Company of Japan.

Good luck,
