Colorful socks with suits at work?

How many of you wear colorful socks with your suits in a business environment? Fashion Forward or Faux Pas? Acceptable at work? Seeing it more and more recently and not exclusive to those idiot hipsters.

That can never be pulled off unless you're Micheal Jackson.

Only all the time.

I don't wear ties that often so this give me a chance to get creative. Definitely depends on the office environment. I even started wearing chucks. Wore these not too long ago.

Fuck wearing suits to work. Did that for a year and half at my old job and hated all the prep work to look nice. My current job, I decide in the morning if I wanna go business casual or jeans and T-Shirt.

Definitely more people around the office with louder colored socks recently. Mine are pretty tame today.

Colorful socks with a suit are almost mandatory IMO

Absolutely! I wear fun socks with nearly all pants and even scrubs. People compliment all the time. Life is too short to be like the rest of the boring herd. Either you're confident enough to rock it, or you're not. It's all about the person and less and what clothing it's paired with.
