The long-awaited summer and, finally, for several months you won’t have to think about heavy, bulky clothes. And of course, summer shoes are light and comfortable. But here's the catch: what to do with the socks? Very frequently asked question for men - is it possible to wear sneakers without socks?

Pros and cons of sneakers without socks

There are several types of men's summer shoes that not only can, but also should be worn without socks. But what to do with sneakers? Do you wear socks under sneakers in the summer? Here opinions are completely divided.

On the one hand, in Lately A trend has emerged that men do not need to wear socks in the summer, even under their shoes. Adherents of the opinion that “if fashion demands it, then they wear horns” quickly picked up this fashionable novelty, enjoy using it and fiercely defend this style. Wear sneakers on bare feet.

Men of more conservative views do not support such an idea and consider it simply in bad taste. They have no idea how to wear shoes without socks if they exist certain rules etiquette, and will never adhere to this idea.

But most of the protests against wearing sneakers without socks come from practical reasons:

1. Some people simply don’t feel comfortable wearing sneakers barefoot. The leg feels uncomfortable.
2. Without socks, sneakers often rub your feet.
3. Feet are a very intense sweating part of the body, especially in summer. Without socks, sneakers absorb sweat directly, which causes unpleasant odor in shoes and the feet themselves. The only way out then is to wash your sneakers, but you won’t, you wash them every day. Socks, especially those made from natural fibers, become a barrier between sweaty feet and sneakers. They absorb moisture, protecting shoes from becoming soaked with sweat. And socks can be changed and washed even several times a day.

Which socks to choose

If you are still a supporter of wearing socks under sneakers, then you need to understand the question of which socks are better.

As for the style of socks, there are three main types:

1. Regular socks - with regular top length.
2. Sports short socks - with a short top, to the ankle.
3. Invisible socks, or so-called undersocks.

Cropped socks and bobby pins are a salvation for those who don’t want to stray from the latest fashion trends, but can’t wear sneakers without socks.

As for the material from which the socks are made, they can be made of natural fibers or synthetic.

Socks from natural materials- wool, cotton, linen - they breathe better, absorb moisture well, therefore, from a hygiene point of view, such socks are better suited for wearing with sports shoes.

Synthetic socks are stronger and wear better, but they do not absorb moisture well, so the foot remains wet, which does not prevent unpleasant odors.

How to combine clothes, sneakers, socks

Whether to wear sneakers with or without socks depends not only on the person’s desire, but also on what clothes they are wearing with them.

With a tracksuit and jeans, everything is simple: regular socks, plain or with patterns in a sports style, and sneakers are the traditional option.

If you want to wear sneakers, jeans or trousers without socks, then stylists advise turning up the hem of the trouser leg a little.

With socks and breeches, shorts, Bermudas, the situation is without options - just without socks. If you can't wear sneakers on bare feet, then cropped socks and invisible socks can help you.

Why is there no clear answer - yes, wear sneakers and socks, or no, don’t wear them? Nowadays fashion is very democratic and does not adhere to strict rules. There is a focus on stylishness of the image, harmony between clothes and inner world person. Very fashionable to combine in one look different styles, often completely opposite, which were previously considered impossible to combine.

If in relation to classic clothing there are very specific canons of “what goes with what”, then with socks the situation is more complicated. There are no clear rules, following which you will 100% not go wrong. Unfortunately, the only one Right way– learn to intuitively understand which socks to wear with what. It’s difficult, especially in Russia. But it’s completely doable!

Russia is mentioned for a reason. Walk along the streets or take the subway: it will immediately become clear that no one here knows how to wear socks. Moreover, the majority have no idea that this element of clothing is as important as the rest. Therefore, there is plenty of bad taste.

Some women believe that socks must match the color of trousers (not shoes!). Alternatively, they should be combined with the color of the shirt, tie or sweater, but in a way that does not contradict common sense: you should not look for pink socks with a pink tie. Following these recommendations, you need to choose gray socks for a gray suit and black shoes, and dark blue socks for a dark blue suit and black shoes. But trust men’s experience – socks that match the shoes will look no worse. The most important thing: socks must be long so that your bare leg is not visible when you sit down.

There is no need to wear socks with shorts. If this is completely uncomfortable for you, then you can wear short socks, white or matching your clothes. With light-colored shoes, you should wear light-colored or colored socks, and no black ones! Better choose socks middle length, shortened or completely invisible under shoes. By the way, classic sports socks should be worn either with sneakers or with high “mountain” boots.

In the case of casual clothing, there are no specific guidelines. But this does not mean that you can wear everything (remember the Russian metro!). Once again, pay attention to the length of your socks. Or more precisely, the ratio of the length of the pants and the length of the socks: the shorter the pants, the shorter the socks. If your trouser legs are rolled up, you can do without socks at all. Their choice also depends on the type of shoes: top-siders and moccasins are worn on bare feet, and sneakers and classic boots are worn with socks.

When I see the combination of sandals and socks, my mood immediately spoils. Sometimes it seems that this was invented in Russia! But, as it turns out, you can also see this on the catwalk. It turns out to be a twofold situation. If you choose the right tones and materials, then maybe it will look interesting... But personally, I do not recommend using such an ambiguous combination.

Finally, let me remind you of a few basic rules: do not wear white socks with classic socks; do not wear socks with top-siders, moccasins and sandals; When choosing colored socks, rely on your own imagination and sense of style.
