Not as much as in the West.”Ameet Panchal, director of Happy Socks India, believes a man should try funky socks with formal wear only if he is sure of his ability to pull them off. So just add some colour to your socks life.” Happily Unmarried’s full- and ankle-length socks for men (priced at Rs249 and Rs299, respectively) have patterns like moustaches, bikes, lettering, smileys, camouflage, multicoloured stripes and pop-colour blocking. However, graphic designers, architects, fashion designers, artists, and men in advertising, media or most start-ups can wear them.”Tuli believes long socks are appropriate. He says: “We are working on various knitting textures for men for our new dress socks collection. So, as Tuli says, if the trend of wearing funky socks works for you, wear it, but remember to style it wisely.
