One important, but an extremely overlooked piece, of your wardrobe are socks.

Sounds a bit silly, but a pair of socks can tie your entire ensemble together. And, if you think people won’t notice, they will. You could be rocking a $1,500 suit, but if you’ve got on a pair of cheap socks, you might as well just stay home. Because you’re going to be making a fool of yourself.

Never ever wear white socks unless…

As a whole, matching socks to your outfit is a simple task. First off, never, ever wear white socks unless you’re working out. So, just leave them in the drawer. Secondly, your socks should match your trousers. This makes a streamlined look that’s safe for almost any situation.

A third piece of advice is that your socks should be high enough so that you’re not showing any flesh. Finally, and this should be a give-in–don’t leave the house with socks that have holes or stains. That’s just embarrassing.

Are patterned colored socks something a respectable man would wear?

Of course, there are plenty of other rules and guidelines for wearing the right socks with the right outfit. But, the tips mentioned above are just some general reminders. But, what about colored socks? Are they something that any respectable man would wear?

In a word. Absolutely.

Colored socks do have advantages when worn correctly. They can spice up your outfit by adding personality and flare to an otherwise boring ensemble. There are also colored socks for different seasons and occasions, in both design and material. This means that besides being fashionable, you’ll also be festive and appropriately dressed for that specific time of year.

Have fun with your socks…

So, what if it’s patterned socks? What rules apply to them? This is where things can get a bit tricky. Essentially, you’re already breaking the rules of conservative fashion, so you should just incorporate your personality into the outfit. At this point, you can’t go wrong with your wardrobe. However, there is one rule you should keep in mind. If you’re wearing a patterned pair of socks make sure that no other piece of your wardrobe has the same pattern. This will create an overly matched look that’s going to be a bit too much for your getup to handle. Other than that, have fun with your socks.

If you keep these couple of tips in mind, you’ll be man enough to wear colored socks any time you want. Well, maybe not pink.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
