Wedding socks - something bold, something new, something stripy, something blue?
Posted 6th March 2013 by Katrina
If you are a frequent follower of Heat Holders hat and gloves at the time!). As the big day approaches, and the to-do list becomes shorter, I am able to turn my attention to something rather important – socks. Not for me obviously - I don’t think a pair of stripy Pringle socks poking out from under my dress would create the right look – but for my lovely husband-to-be and the men in the wedding party. It would appear that I’m not alone in giving some consideration to what the groom’s party wears on their feet; apparently there is a trend emerging of the groom and his guys rockin’ funky socks. So I thought I’d take a look at the different sock options that fellas have when it comes to their big day. |
Matching colours is a task many brides and grooms are familiar with. The tradition often sees the flowers, bridesmaid dresses, invitations and decorations tied together with familiar shades and hues, and the same can be said for the socks. |

Option two – colours of the rainbow This is a popular one for the groom and his guys who like to stand out and make a statement by each wearing a different shade of socks. On the whole, men’s formal wear for a wedding is quite traditional, with neutral colours and smart tailoring. So what better way of showing off style and personality then with a flash of colour noticed every now and then as they walk around mingling with guests? SockShop’s Colour Burst socks are ideal for these guys, with eye-popping shades including mustard and clementine available. |

Black definitely does not equal boring, and black socks are a great bit of reliable kit on a day that has the potential to be full of surprises! |

So there you have it! In terms of what my other half will do about his wedding day socks, he’s still to decide, but whatever he picks I’m sure he’ll look great! Katrina x |
