you just reminded me of something from last summer.
I wore some blue/gray argyle (Not huge colorful at all, very light blue lines subtle) socks one day and my VP pulls me aside and says (basically, don't remember exactly) "Hey, don't wear does socks again" Me "what? Sure, whats wrong with them?" Vp "You dont want to wear argyle socks, only asians wear argyle socks" Me "I'll burn them tonight" - I then go back to my desk and next time I go over to his desk another and another VP is over there and he goes "MYNAME come on you got to get your shit together" - semi joking
Is this at all true?? I really can't see how it is, but then again wtf do I know. WSO can I wear argyle socks?

I have some colorful socks, but don't wear them too much -- my firm is pretty formal/colorful socks can be a hassle to match with one's tie/shirt/etc.

I've been called out for wearing colorful socks in the office. I kept doing it; if you're doing your job well, no one's going to give a shit what color your socks are.

Americans in American offices generally don't dress too 'metro,' but Americans (generally) have no style, so why would you want to emulate them?
Analysts normally don't wear $3k suits, though. European suits are generally more fitted than American ones, so they look nicer. Further, Italian tailors are MUCH cheaper in Italy than they are abroad, so if you are going to get suits made, and you're a continental European, you're going to be paying maybe 1/3 the cost Americans do for the same suits.
My point is this: the European analysts look sharper because their clothing isn't made for 250 lb. lard-asses, not because they spend 5 times what you do for their clothing.
Or maybe because they are
Or maybe because they are gay/metro and worry so much about fashion...

wrong...americans are just fat and have no sense of fashion...dont go there...everybody on this earth makes fun of your guys and your non-sense of style...
i just wanted to see how many ppl wear them ...analysts or traders...lets avoid the america vs the world fashion argument.
I used to wear colorful
I used to wear colorful socks. Depends on the firms culture and what you think you can get away with. One can match their socks to the slacks or you can be bold and match it to you're tie and shirt. I was notorious for wearing some crazy shit. Then again I was well liked and was very good at my job.
