Are we only allowed (fashion wise), as guys, to wear either sandal type footwear, or sneakers of any color? can we get away with very casual looking shoes, or anything more dressy, if we're wearing shorts? What kind of socks should we wear with casual shoes or non-white colored sneakers? socks that match the shoe, ankle socks, etc? This has always been difficult fashion wise with me because in the past I'd always wear running sneakers, or different types of sneakers, tennis/basketball, outdoors types, that you can get at any store,..but they look really dorky and out of place when you're wearing lets say a more fashionable outfit. If you're wearing lets say a kenneth cole/club monaco, armani exchange, or whatever other designer t-shirt with shorts, and possible bag,..and then you have running/walking sneakers on, it can look kind of silly. Also they usually unfortunately for whatever reason design sneakers so UGLY, so that they can really throw off your whole outfit and make you look like sh9t. Any advice is appreciated thanks! 1 day ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details Also unfortunately since you're wearing shorts/short sleeved shirts, whatever footwear you have will look bigger because you don't have the length of the pants to fit your whole body and make your whole outfit fromtop to bottom work, so what you wear on your feet during the warm months REALLY counts. I'm from the NYC area, so a good chunk of the year we're wearing jackets, or at least pants...so when April through Sept gets here...it becomes much more casual...but it's difficult shoe wise,, because I don't want to look fabulous shirt/pants wise,..and like I just went to sports authority.

wow. long question! but no worries. during the summer, sneakers and sandals are your best bet, but if you can pull off like a boating shoe, that would work also. white sneakers are disgusting, they look like orthopedics. never wear them. as for socks, go with either white or black ankle socks. don't pull a German and have black calve socks with sandals. the less sock showing, the better. but don't go matchy matchy. that just looks cheesy because you can never get the color exactly right. if you're wearing nice, sleek tennis shoes, they shouldn't get too bulky with the tops showing. like pumas. those always look good. hope that helps!

ok, well ur question was kinda long, so i just skimmed it. buuut, id have to say CONVERSE are the way to go. they come in, like, millions of colours, and they match with pretty much everything. when ur wearing shorts (baggy cargo r the best), wear the classic black hi-tops, believe me, they look amazing with a vintage t-shirt. if ur gonna wear the ox's (low-tops), find the shortest socks you can, because they dont look very good with tall socks. good luck!! oh, and you can design your own converse at: www.converse.com =D

don't wear socks with sandals, but it is appropriate to wear socks with sneakers, ofcourse. sneakers should probably be of a more neutral color.
