Alright, I'm only joking - but we've had the never-ending thread about showing off your new shoes, which has been fun.

I've noticed that a number of the younger guys especially, who work in our offices seem to be wearing ever-more colourful and outrageous socks with their suits. A few years ago, wearing black and pink stripey socks with a formal suit would probably have been frowned on, but now it's perfectly acceptable, if not quite the norm.

I'm not talking about mis-matched socks that show absolutely no fashion sense, but what's the most outrageous ones you've seen ... or worn!

Don't have any pictures however I often wear a bold coloured sock - with white being of course an absolute no-goer!

I tend to stay away from socks with loud patterns as I still think they're not particularly suitable in a professional setting and tend to clash / look a bit childish, regardless of the outfit.

I only ever buy black socks so I now have hundreds of them but none of them actually MATCH they all have varying degrees of blackness and seem to have nuances in the material. FML
