Most Prestigious Socks?

Hey again you monkeys! I was wondering where I could purchase the most prestigious socks. I already have my entire ensable down for HS prom (yes, i'm in HS might as well start early right?) which includes ferragamo loafers, my dad's rollie, a hermes tie, red suspenders, a blue shirt from Thomas Pink with a white collar and pin stripe pants from Turnbull & Asser. I was wondering what is the most prestigious socks to wear with my ferragamos though? I will use this outfit for banking interviews one day too since prestige is the most important thing to project from what I know.

Also let me know if any of those clothes are not prestigious so I can swap them fro something better.

You can't buy them. They are given to the top candidates at the end of each Merrill Lynch Wealth Management internship, which as we all know is the right of passage into high finance. If I were you, I would auction my ferragamos and hermes tie and use that money to open an account at your local ML branch. Open the account and then use that as leverage to force your financial advisor into giving you an internship. He might be perplexed as to why you would want to endlessly cold call the nursing home across the street, but you have the eyes on the big prize. The all coveted socks.

White Hanes socks. Make sure you take your shoes off and brandish the 'Hanes' logo found under the toes in the face of your interviewer for extra points.

Your ensemble seems to be coming along nicely, but may I suggest an alternative approach?

No socks. Go the hipster route. But make sure your pants are short enough so people know you aren't wearing socks or it will look funny. Also- your suit should be tight enough that any sudden movement will rip it at the seams. And either grow a very thick and well groomed beard, or a grungy, homeless looking beard. There is no alternative option, other than the obvious (mustache). To complete your outfit, I would suggest going to your local J-Crew and drastically overpaying for a denim bow tie.

 

Gucci for sure. Don't listen to anyone tell you this won't matter, this is a deal breaker.

Also, make sure to tuck your dress pants into your socks. Otherwise your interviewer may not notice. If you have the extra cash, wear a second pair of the Gucci socks on your hands. This will really help you stand out.

It's all manipulated with junk bonds. You can't win.
