If you have an interest in masculine shoes, chances are you also have a penchant for snazzy socks. I know I do. It’s all part of the look, right? A turned up jean to show a peek of colour really brightens a drab, foggy day like today.

I’ve long been a fan of Gap socks. That whole 3 for £10 thing: what’s not to love? There’s regularly a huge choice of my favourite patterns – spots and stripes – and they last ages too. My most recent haul last week was very successful. I particularly like these grey multi stripe ones. 

This season though, I’m experimenting with Argyle socks for the first time. Nothing too crazy – because Argyle socks can be REALLY crazy – just a subtle diamond print on a dark coloured sock.

My new discovery for great socks is Muji, and it certainly has plenty of Argyle options to choose from. Its socks are a little more expensive than Gap’s but still come in at a reasonable £4.95 per pair. And you’ll notice a cute dotty pair in the mix too for good measure.

So if you want to add a little colour to an otherwise plain outfit, why not slip on some colourful socks this autumn?
