Importance of Sock Selection with Business Attire

If you've ever worked in an office then I'm sure you know what I mean when I say that sock selection is one of the most important, heck maybe even the most important thing when it comes to long-term success.  I'm going to discuss the different iterations of sock attire that I've experienced and the effect each has.

Black socks.  Basically this means you are boring.  The only exception is if you are wearing either a white or bright yellow suit, as they'd be an adequate contrast.  But otherwise, if you wear black socks in business then you are destined for a mediocre future.  But at least you are not alone.

Colourful socks.  This means you want to stand out, but are only happy to do it in subtle ways.  If this is you then take the next step of wearing short trousers so the coloured socks show through.  Doing so will make you feel a freedom you've never felt before and your business success will soar.

Funny socks.  If the funniest thing about you is a joke on your socks, most of which are not at all funny, then I'm sorry.  I'm sorry because you are a bigger joke than your socks, and as you continue your business career you will just become and older and more worn joke.  Harsh?  Truth can hurt.

No socks.  You are a maverick who doesn't care about the health and scent of your feet.  If you have no socks, you likely also don't have shoes, and maybe in time you can also bring yourself to be brave enough to lose the trousers.  And then my friend, your business career will take a whole different direction.

Conclusion.  Who said there'd be a conclusion?
