Socks or no socks? The debate: http://www.mensfashionmagazine.com/socks-or-no-socks

So socks or no socks? That is the question…

In todays video I want to spark a debate, is it acceptable for men to go sockless when wearing dress shoes?

More modern styles have seen more men wear no socks when dressing both casually and formally but from what I see on the MFM Facebook page it’s something a lot of men dislike.

So I wanted to open this up for discussion…

Should you ALWAYS wear socks?

Or is it ok to go sockless?

For me it depends on the ocassion and climate alongside your style. It also depends upon the shoes you wear.

Going sockless with Oxford’s is something I’d never do but I’d go sockless with loafers.

So comment below…

What’s your thoughts?

Enjoy!

    Tacky when men or women wear barefeet in shoes..

  2. Nikk Nakk on May 29, 2020 at 5:18 am

    It looks uncomfortable

  3. Tim Robert S on May 29, 2020 at 5:18 am

    👍

  4. Laura Sepulveda on May 29, 2020 at 5:19 am

    Yes!! No socks BUT WITH FLIPFLOPS
    but nowadays people is wearing flipflops and socks, while wearing formal attire they decide to go “sockless” guys are everyday less masculine

  5. Fa. An. on May 29, 2020 at 5:19 am

    No show socks is awfull…

  6. Driven2012 on May 29, 2020 at 5:19 am

    I’m on the no socks side, and I thoroughly hate no show socks. Driving Mocs, loafers, boat shoes, Toms, Vans, etc all look better sockless. Athletic shoes and boots call for socks.

    The no sock look is fine with shorts but that’s it. Going sockless with a suit looks stupid especially when you are older. BTW have you heard socks with sandals are in. Who knew.

  8. Blaq Byrd 281 on May 29, 2020 at 5:21 am

    Sockless looks juvenile pass age 18.

  9. Leo Chan on May 29, 2020 at 5:29 am

    actually no sock equals wearing low cut socks, the invisible type

  10. AnaruXII on May 29, 2020 at 5:30 am

    ALWAYS socks

  11. Ben Wilde on May 29, 2020 at 5:31 am

    Dreadful look, personally. It looks very pretentious and your feet are going to smell.

    The preserve of attention seeking narcissists.

    I guarantee it will be worn by someone in a skin tight pair of ripped jeans and top showing off their muscles.

  12. Ziggy White Duke on May 29, 2020 at 5:31 am

    Showing ankles…
    Yeah dude, very masculine.

  13. Andrej Jurga on May 29, 2020 at 5:32 am

    I personally think it is okay if appropriate. A few of mine rules would be to wear no show socks when going for the look, not to have a formal outfit, going for it only during a hot day and only with loafers.

  14. C C on May 29, 2020 at 5:36 am

    no shoes. ftw

  15. Marc Marmolejo on May 29, 2020 at 5:36 am

    Do what ever the FUCK you wanna do!

  16. Luccimatic on May 29, 2020 at 5:38 am

    I think sockless should only be acceptable in extremely casual situations. I think wearing a suit and dress shoes without socks look super tacky and you’re achieving the exact opposite look that you were hoping for in any professional setting. It honestly looks like you forgot something while you were getting dressed when you wearing a full suit without socks.

  17. Timothy kramer on May 29, 2020 at 5:40 am

    I work in a office and people take off shoes… you can if you have socks on. But you can’t go bare feet…

  18. Bernice Nha on May 29, 2020 at 5:41 am

    As a girl, I rather go sockless or even barefoot. I’m lazy haha

  19. Pinda Lubana on May 29, 2020 at 5:42 am

    hey open the fb group I want to join

  20. Panos Ioannou on May 29, 2020 at 5:42 am

    Hi, the black trousers you wear in Dubai look amazing ,where you got them from???

  21. starz gonzales on May 29, 2020 at 5:43 am

    SOCKS … Now open that cold one!

    I love how people say "Italian style" when they go sockless. Just like saying that the typical dish in Italy is "garlic bread" or "spaghetti meatball". Thanks God in Italy we know how to separate reality from bullshit. Unless you want people to die because of your feet aroma or at least just to prevent fungus, please do wear socks. Invisibile socks, even if they do not absorb ALL the sweat as they get too soaked, are just fine.

  24. Brit-Pop Snob on May 29, 2020 at 5:45 am

    No. Horrible. So bad. And also socks should be worn with shorts as well.

  25. Soft Soleman 05 on May 29, 2020 at 5:46 am

    I prefer no socks, it’s comfy.

  26. Anonymous Alex on May 29, 2020 at 5:47 am

    I always wear socks otherwise my feet feel sweaty. Socks help with wicking moisture.

  27. Damian Czepil on May 29, 2020 at 5:47 am

    Is anyone watching without socks on? 😛

  28. davebw123 on May 29, 2020 at 5:47 am

    I’m 35 from UK, if the shoes are soft and no suit, no socks. Unless its a formal shoe, your chinos should be non baggy and shoe should be smart with fun.

  29. Mike George on May 29, 2020 at 5:47 am

    should wear socks.     no socks went out with Miami Vice and sonny crockett.

  30. Final Turn on May 29, 2020 at 5:49 am

    No show socks are Okey except classic suit but depends on complexion, in my opinion . . In asian countries no concept of "No Show Socks" with dress shoes but I like it only with chinos or Jeans not dress pant or suit.

    The no sock thing is just a fashion fad and will lose popularity just as fast as it gained it . It proves how we really do follow fashion trends like sheep and end up all doing the same thing……at least with sock you can wear different styles and colours.

    The no sock thing on a formal dress code , u reminds me of the guy who stays in a hotel overnight and forgets to pack his socks…..that would normally make you a laughing stock when you turn up for the meeting on the following morning…..but hey…..that is exactly how fashion trends are born

  32. Dan Seabreeze on May 29, 2020 at 5:51 am

    I think if looks SO ridiculous! For me plain black dress socks with elegant black dress shoes are my favorite! Plus I’ve always HATED most loafers! Especially the very simple ones that look petite and look like brown Cinderella shoes, LOL!

  33. Memento Mori on May 29, 2020 at 5:51 am

    Socks. Please lads you look feminine as hell. Put some socks on those toots, do everyone, especially your bird, a favour by not having dank smelly add shoes and feet from wearing no socks.

  34. OVI-Wan Kenobi on May 29, 2020 at 5:52 am

    Unless your name is Sonny Crocket / Sonny Burnett and you’re an undercover vice cop in Miami, you need to wearing socks with your dress shoes.

  35. Yxmper on May 29, 2020 at 5:53 am

    Honestly who cares what other guys think, if the females like no socks then why tf would I wear some silly pattern sock ?

  36. kev3d on May 29, 2020 at 5:54 am

    Go sockless if you:
    Want an inconsistent look
    Don’t care about foot odor
    Wish to appear sloppy, as though Tom Sawyer had a court date
    Don’t want to look classy
    Have an obsession with Sonny Crockett
    Are desperate to appear hip

  37. Stephen Pace on May 29, 2020 at 5:55 am

    I’ve read the comments and need this answered: for those that say no socks and no-show socks are tacky, gross, give impression your feet stink , etc ; what do you do if you’re wearing shorts???? Please help ! Thanks

  38. King 7Five7 on May 29, 2020 at 5:56 am

    Sometimes I wear socks, sometimes I don’t. But when I do wear socks they are always ankle socks

  39. Earl Powell on May 29, 2020 at 5:57 am

    No socks and remove shoe strings. It’ll change your life! I honestly haven’t even owned a pair of socks in 10+ years.

  40. Jorl L on May 29, 2020 at 5:58 am

    No socks is a trend that needs to stop. It looks silly and not masculine at all.

  41. KULDEEP SAWANT on May 29, 2020 at 6:01 am

    I hate to wear socks at all so I agree to go without socks in shoes. I agree to go sockless. It looks cool without socks & let’s go with flow

  42. Shabeer Bulbulia on May 29, 2020 at 6:01 am

    Socks better.

  43. Simon Ci on May 29, 2020 at 6:02 am

    Its Not Hygienic. Would you put socks 100 times without washing? Its the same, like not washed Socks having every day, the same! OMG! All smell and sweet insted into socks stays in shoes!

  44. Timothy kramer on May 29, 2020 at 6:02 am

    No if your dress up dress socks… looks bad…. bad for your feet your feet sweat and your feet will stink.. that’s why you wear socks

  45. Thomas Cool on May 29, 2020 at 6:02 am

    No socks = uncivilised

  46. adam khabazian on May 29, 2020 at 6:05 am

    it’s not debated, some designers have decided to sell a whole lot of socks by making a trend that looks horrible. and the idiots are eating it up. I never wear no show sock with pants, unless I’m at a beach or on a boat and wearing loafers. never ever with sneakers or dress shoes

  47. Enigma of the Absolute on May 29, 2020 at 6:05 am

    Ignoring the hygiene issues (that’s what no show socks are for), I don’t think it’s generally a good look for lighter skinned men. Darker skinned men can pull of the look no problem because there isn’t such a stark contrast between their trousers, ankles and shoes.

    It’s OK with more casual loafers (Mocs or boat shoes) and shorts because that would look awful with socks.

  48. Frank Hayes on May 29, 2020 at 6:09 am

    This question is easily answered; NO. If one of my employees turned up at the office with no socks I would send him home (without pay).

  49. Bob Lippi on May 29, 2020 at 6:12 am

    For the last ten years, I have been wearing all my shoes barefoot which are men’s saddle shoes, bucks, Tap shoes, and penny loafers. I do get a lot of compliments.

  50. slk230ml on May 29, 2020 at 6:13 am

    no socks, except with classic suits.
