I've recently started at a new client, and am actually going back to wearing a tie about 2 or 3 days a week depending on what the situation is. There is nothing horrible about it. That's just something you get used to when you're a consultant. What is funny about where I am now, is seeing how other people "attempt" to dress well. Some things just... well... let's just say they stand out.
So, for those of you not familiar with how this works, here is Style Guy's Guide to Appropriate Sock Colors at Work.
White socks shall never be worn at work. You'd think this would be pretty basic, but sadly this is the most common rule I see broken.
Your socks should match your pants. You may be asking yourself... shouldn't they match your shoes? Not necessarily. For instance, let's say you're wearing cream colored pants, and brown shoes. Wear cream colored socks... not brown ones.
That's pretty much it. Master these two rules to sock color and you're golden.
Style Guy out.
