27.07.09 Socks or not? 

A big look at the moment for men is rolled-up trousers with espadrilles, plimsolls or boat shoes.  A great look for sure, but it's causing concern amongst some of you gents as you don't like going sock-less, worried that your feet will hum after a day of walking.  Fair point.  With plimsolls you can probably get away with wearing those trainer socks which are white and come to just below your ankle.  For espadrilles and boat shoes, you're going to have to find yourself something more discreet, such as these invisible socks at www.oipolloi.com for £6.50 a pair.  However, our recommendation is to get yourself down to Primark and head straight for the women's department where you can pick up two pairs of "footies" for £1.  If you have small enough feet.
