Why can't you wear black shoes with white socks?

1. This should be paid attention to in business etiquette. White socks with black leather shoes are called "donkey hooves" by westerners. The color contrast is strong, and the white socks are conspicuous, which is easy to attract the attention of the other party. It's simply unsightly! Black leather shoes and black socks are the best match. If you don't have black socks, you can choose dark socks closest to black to realize the integration of socks and shoes. And for western countries, black shoes+white socks = blue-collar class, and the upper class will think that you don't respect this occasion. Black leather shoes are generally matched with formal dresses such as dresses and suits. In the past, western society paid attention to wearing leather shoes and polishing them. If black shoe polish touches white socks, it will affect the appearance. Since then, today's "rules" have been formed.

2. Professor Jia Yun, director of the fashion design department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, said: "Black shoes can't be matched with white socks" originated in European countries, with Britain as the origin center, and gradually penetrated into the fashion culture of other countries, and now it has become an international practice. "

For example, in the appearance convention of European and American business circles, it is impolite to wear white socks only in leisure sports, and it is also impolite to wear black shoes with white socks. "This is a long-standing habit. From an aesthetic point of view, the matching colors of black shoes and white socks are neither harmonious nor beautiful. " Deng Zhaoping, one of the top ten fashion designers in the province, also holds the same view. Ms. Liu, a fashion designer, said that although wearing clothes is a personal matter and no one can force you to do it, in the field of fashion culture, there are elegance and vulgarity. If you wear black shoes with white socks, it will still be classified as vulgar.
