Let's Coordinate the Groom's Socks Fashionably ♡
What kind of "groom's socks" are you planning to wear?
The basic choice is to select a color that matches the tuxedo (black or white), but recently, some people have been seen coordinating in a stylish way with accent colors*
When glimpsed while walking or sitting, it gives off a sophisticated vibe, which is lovely, right? ♡
【Basic】How to Choose Formal Socks
First, let’s introduce the basic way to choose socks.
For formal wear, it’s common to match the socks with the color of the tuxedo.
☑ If the tuxedo is black, choose black socks.
☑ If the tuxedo is white, choose white socks.
Choose accordingly.
The length that is mainstream is the mid-length, which doesn't show skin when seated. Ankle length or short socks are not acceptable as they expose the skin.
For traditional ceremonies with many guests such as bosses or mentors, it is best to prepare socks that align with formal wear.
The material can be polyester, wool, or anything, but "silk material" with a glossy finish is the most prestigious option.
However, if you choose silk material or socks that are loose-fitting, they may slide down and appear sloppy, so use sock glue to ensure they stay up.
It's Okay to Prepare Stylish Socks♡
When choosing socks that follow formal wear, prepare black or white socks that match the tuxedo. However,
weddings are becoming more casual lately, so it is common to style with fashionable and free coordinates.
"I want a homey, casual wedding."
"I want a stylish wedding that represents us without being overly formal."
"I want the wedding to be formal, but I also want to pay attention to outfits for pre-shoots and after-parties."
In such cases, it's perfectly fine to choose stylish socks that match your outfit ♡
There are also unique performances using the groom's socks at weddings*
Performing with the Groom's Socks① Sock Guessing Quiz
Just like the "guess the color of the colored dress" quiz, there’s a performance of "guess the color (pattern) of the groom's socks"*
This performance can be done without changing the tuxedo ♡
The color of the colored dress is known the moment they enter, but the color of the socks can only be revealed when the shoes are taken off, which is sure to heighten the excitement of the reveal ♩
Performing with the Groom's Socks② Matching Socks with Guests
An idea to gift matching socks to groomsmen or close male guests ♡
It creates a sense of togetherness and makes photo shoots more enjoyable* Preparing matching ties or bow ties is also a wonderful idea ♩
It would also be fun to gift socks that match the personalities and images of the guests ♡
Performing with the Groom's Socks③ Cold Feet Socks
"Cold feet socks" is a performance where the bride gifts socks to the groom.
This is to show love by gifting socks to keep the groom's feet warm and to alleviate nervousness ♡
It would be appreciated if you attach a letter and give it on the day before the wedding or while preparing in the bridal room ♡
