1. Pick the Right Shoe
First of all, say NO to fancier shoes. Fancier shoes like loafers and oxfords donโt match with socks and shorts together. If you have to wear such shoes, keep your socks hidden. Choose a pair of socks that can be extended only up to your ankle. By that, we mean invisible socks. Make sure the socks are not sliding down your feet. Avoid crew or quarter socks.

Sneakers are a good option. Not only are they versatile but are also stylish and comfortable.

Folding or rolling the socks make you look downright sloppy. At the same time, your ankles will appear bulky.
3. Stay Away from Tube Socks
People used to wear tube socks with shorts in the 1970s. This combination looks horrible. Tube socks are created mainly for wearing to the gym. However, if tube socks are your favorite and if you canโt resist to wear them, go for a neutral colored outfit. Or, you can match the stripes on your socks with the shoesโ color.
But, still itโs best to ditch tube socks while wearing shorts.
