Sock marriage made in heaven: English socks + Italian shoes

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

It’s got to be my favorite combos – a fine pair of English socks (preferably Pantherella) served up with a fine pair of hand-made Italian shoes (preferably loafers).  This weekend me and Sock Girl went to a friend’s wedding at the Royal Holloway where I was SPOTTED wearing a pair of Richard James’ finest Pantherella-made pink socks, ACCOMPANIED by a truly awesome pair of Italian suede tassled-loafers from Eterno (Conduit Street).

To finish off the combo, I was SPORTING my 80’s-tastic Ralph Lauren pinstripe suit.  Possibly the finest sock-shoe-suit combo this side of the Thames : – )

No.10 socks

Dilemma: what kinds of socks would you wear for a meeting @ No.10 (Downing Street)?  Do you go for the power sock, something party political, or something more laid back?  Answer – the power sock of course!

So it’s a case of SPOTTED a pair of red Pantherella’s SPORTED by Sock Man @ No.10.

N.B. the photo was taken outside No.10, as you have to give your phone in when you enter the building : – (

New socks?

I spotted a guy on the tube wearing one of these T-shirts a couple of weeks back – but couldn’t bring myself to ask him for a photo.  Then, luckily, at the weekend stumbled across their home – Paul Smith of course ; – )
