Go to Century 21 for a pretty wide selection. Happy Socks are pretty good.

Winner!!!!! Love me some C21. Guys have extra swag when they do crazy socks. If you're not in the NYC area check out Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Ross, and a few others.

I can't figure it out...it's cool to wear trendy socks, but it's also cool to wear no socks. Fashion is way too confusing to a guy like me from Alabama. Far cry from the boots and buckles that are in my armoire.

I was pretty early to the sock game. Now it's getting overplayed and I'm starting to appreciate the elegance of a subdued/matched pair of socks instead of a colorfully clashing one.

matching socks, interesting

Haha - I meant matching with pants, not each other.

But I suppose wearing unmatched pairs would be the logical next step in standing out

Contrast your left with your shirt and match your right with your tie.

A lot of people at my firm are getting into the sock game i.e. colorful/patterned socks. Anyone here have good sock game and have any recommendations as to where to purchase these stylish socks?

When I was a pup, I was going in to interview at Rothschild (London) and saw some dude glide out in a crisp blue suit and plain bright tree green socks. I fucking loved it! Been rocking that look since.

Patterned socks are a no no with a suit. Block colour.

Nice Laundry offers a $99 sock make-over. Price seems steep at first, but you get around ~20+ pairs of socks so at ~$5 a pair not bad. Also, don't think I've bought a pair since then.

I was about to mention this one. You can get 18 pair for $99. They have comfortable athletic socks, too. You can buy almost every sock they make for around $200.

At the moment I'm wearing a pair of Simpson's socks. But I really like monster socks.

Well recently there's this new sock brand based out of Austin that's just been killing it. It's called Granbury Brand. (www.granburybrand.com). I personally loved the the Atlantic or the Renegade pairs. The coolest part is that they use purely organic materials, so no pesticides etc, used in the making of their products. Definitely think their on the way up as a brand. I spoke to one of the founders and they said they'll be introducing organic cotton and wool ties, bow ties, tie clips, and pocket squares soon.

I sure do care about whether or not my colorful, trendy socks were made with organic, pesticide-free materials.
