+ Socks for Work

Dear Pete,

You are a young man now, and your career is going in the right direction.

I heard about your good meetings, nice colleagues and the hard work that will make you smarter and tougher.

You asked me, “which are the best socks to run with the big dogs?”

So, read my advice.

• Pick over the calf socks for a professional look,

• Pure cotton socks,( or at least 75% or above) will make you feel comfortable also on your long working days,

• Try wool! Start with one pair and see how you like it,

• Pick colors that match the color of your suit, your socks shall not be darker than your pants,

• There are luxury patterned socks out there, have a look!
