i've talked about socks before, but it's next up after shoes.
as stated, socks should match your personality, and they're great for giving a little more life to a dark suit. never match your socks to your shoes though, it looks like you're wearing bootees (unless of course its a black suit with black shoes). if you're not feeling up to the punchier socks, then match your socks to the trouser like a sir.

Mr. Nelson. Incredible blog. fascinating really. Perhaps you can do a blog on underwear next....don't know if that can really fit into the whole Utah thing though....aren't most of the underwear up there only white?....
