Let me get this straight.. I should wear no socks to not look like the other guys that do wear socks? But then wouldn't I just be looking like the guys that don't wear socks?
I'm confused... really just seems like preference to me.
@DevLcL It's all preference. No one says you "should" not wear socks to look different. If you are comfortable and confident with it by all means - go ahead.
G.Q.: FAIL. *Never* look sockless with lace-up dress shoes. This is rebellious, nothing else. Keep the sockless look to driving mocassins, deck shoes, et c.: basically, slip-ons without heels. (And never wear thick-heeled loafers with no socks: that'll make you look about 80 years old and wannabe-Floridian.)
Sorry but I just think the video ideas are a whole box of wrong. If you have to wear a suit then you have to wear dress shoes and dress socks. If it's hot then leave the wool suit at home and invest in a linen suit. As for the socks, in hot weather avoid wool, heavy cotton and definitely avoid nylon, opt instead for cool mercerised cotton. It's fine, it's wicks and it's cool. The above tips look smart and timeless. The suggested look in the video is not innovative, it's mental hospital chic!
Not wearing socks is just stupid it looks horrible and looks like you don't know how to dress. I don't care if you wear little socks for cushion, it's still dumb.
shut the fuck up and let Tom talk!!! ur nerves are getting the best of u!!! he was going to say his feet sweat and he needs the socks but u opened ur big friggin yap!!!
I find suits comfortable, maybe that's just me. But anyway, if you want to wear a suit but don't feel comfortable wearing it, you shouldn't be wearing one at all or just suck it up.
I go totally barefoot when wearing my loafers sockless. I think loafers look better sockless than lace ups do. Feel great not wearing sox. In fact I wear all my shoes sockless all I can.
What do you think about wearing sandals with suits? thats what I do too. That's quite rebellious, don't you think?
Tough look to pull off, but if you have the right sandals then go for it! My feeling is that they should be simple and of a colour that is complimentary. I don't think you could go wrong with simple black sandals in this case.
You should make a video response to show the world what they look like!
Yeah, I will work on it. I have a pair of favorite black leather Kenneth Cole slides, 10 years old, in great shape I love wearing. I also wear dress slacks and plain, black, thin soles flip flops to work & I seem to pull it off.
The most daring look I have also pulled
off was wearing my black Ken Cole slides with a tuxedo to a couple of formal affairs.
I received attention but I didn't fare too bad. Maybe cuz, in Los Angeles where I live, almost anything goes.
Rebellious? I was thinking more like comical. What reason could there be for not wearing socks with a suit? It's hot you say? Don't wear a suit then, save the full suits for cooler weather.
Every single guy they showed in this video looked ridiculous to me. Like an infant school boy.

This is the nail in the coffin for me. GQ are clueless. No socks is what people in the mad house look like

Personally I find this sockless look disgusting and those socks are ridiculous. Terribly sorry but I really appreciate the other videos.

If I wanted to look comfortable, I wouldn't be wearing a suit to begin with.
I'll keep my socks on when I'm wearing a suit, thank you very much.

do they use the four in hand knot for the ties? half windsor?
thanks for all these vids man watching and taking notes.
lafan805 2 years ago
Most of these are four-in-hand. I think they think it's more modern than a half windsor. I myself am now using the method of knot shown in ep.14.
Thanks for watching my vids!
