Structure

How to wear?
Consider several options for combining low and very short socks for different occasions.
Business and office style
In combination with a trouser suit, you must rely primarily on the color of the socks. They should be the same color as the suit, but lighter than shoes - this is the principle of the office dress code.
Prints in a business style are completely inappropriate. Absolutely, like a combination of white socks and black shoes.
On every day
There are no strict rules and boundaries for daily bows; the main thing is to have a sense of proportion and remember that a short version of socks is the best choice for moccasins, slip-ons, loafers and boat shoes, as well as for sports shoes. In the first and second cases, ordinary models will be able to replace very short, more like tracks. But the fashion world dictates its own rules and a combination of dense colored socks and sandals has become familiar.
With shorts
Shorts are considered the perfect pair for cropped socks. Although many stylists recommend avoiding this combination. But if you wear shoes on your bare foot it’s very uncomfortable to offer several harmonious combinations with shorts and shoes.
White sports socks are best worn with sports shoes or high boots that resemble hiking shoes.
Sneakers mean both a classic white version of socks and color, provided that they are combined with shorts or a T-shirt.
This rule also applies to the combination of dark shoes with white socks. The image will look harmonious if the shorts are also white.
