Learn How to Make a Fashion Statement With Your Socks
#AllSocks Twitter Class.
- There is something quite trendy in men’s fashion today. It’s the style for coloured socks. #Allsocks
- Many have been asking; “must your socks match the colour of your shoe, socks, neck wear, shirt or other piece of dress.” #Allsocks
- Well, the truth is wearing coloured socks require a little care. Once care is taken you are good to rock the coloured socks. #Allsocks
- The style of wearing the same colour of socks that matches your shoe or trouser is as long as 100 years back. #Allsocks
- Some have asked “can you always wear your bright coloured socks at all times”. #Allsocks
- Well the truth is that it depends. If you are thinking of a serious business outfit you might want to be careful like if you are going for an interview for instance. #Allsocks
- These bright colour socks might not fit for a somber occasion like a funeral. #Allsocks
- When it comes to showing off your individuality you could rock cooured socks as it suits you. But when it comes to showing respect and fitting in, caution must be taken. #Allsocks
- But like they say men are in sizes, and a few men are exceptions to the rule. These ones can confidently wear custom-tailored suits with red or any other bright socks. That’s making a statement. #Allsocks
- The business suit with colored socks is a look that says “Yes, I know the rules, and I’m confident enough and care enough about to break it anyway, because it’s more fun for me. Deal with it” #Allsocks
- If you’re not in a suit-and-tie formality sort of situation, you GENERALLY have the option of wearing colored socks if you want to. #Allsocks
- If you are not in the category mentioned in the tweet number 10 you must be careful not to throw them on with anything — but there’s usually a way to make it work. #Allsocks
- Use the bright socks to liven up a simple outfit, when you want extra color-coordination. #Allsocks
- Usually the rule about matching socks is that any neutral colour will do fine. But bright socks aint natural they are contrast. So you’ve got to plan it. And carry it with swag. #Allsocks
- But I will be nice enough to share with you some tips and guidelines for making the idea work well #Allsocks
- Note that when matching your outfit, they should be in coordinate with the rest of the outfit. #Allsocks
- Note that “coordinate” doesn’t mean “match” — your socks doesn’t have to be the exact color as any other piece of clothing on your body. #Allsocks
- For the business men who are conservative, it is nice if there’s some natural sympathy, so be thinking in terms of colors that work well together. #Allsocks
- It’s always cool if your socks fit into the same general theme as the rest of your outfit. #Allsocks
- To do that simply pick out one of the colors from your shirt or jacket pattern, and wear a socks with a similar shade #Allsocks
- See coordination doesn’t have to be something people consciously notice — their eyes will see it as a “good match” even if they don’t think about it themselves #Allsocks
- What is “Contrast” in #mensFashion? #Allsocks
- Contrast in #MensFashion is the change from one adjacent color to the next. #Allsocks
- Fashion experts say we all have some contrast, both in our natural complexions and in our outfits. #Allsocks
- But it’s safer to roughly have the same amount of contrast throughout your whole appearance #Allsocks
- For instance if your upper half is very subtle and low-contrast I.e — a jacket in the same color but a slightly different shade as the shirt under it…
- …in such a case, you don’t want eye-popping color changes on the lower half. It’s that simple! #Allsocks
- Try to keep the contrast between your trousers and your socks at about the same level as the contrast between the trousers and the shirt #Allsocks
- If you cautiously keep at that, people will only be seeing the same basic visual impression all the way up your body. #Allsocks
- Also ensure that you have a couple of socks to choose from that work well with multiple outfits. You see why you need to log on to allsocks.com.ng to order. #Allsocks

@Allsocks_ AT 5
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a step.
6 years ago, between April and May 2009, the idea of selling socks as a means of survival as an undergraduate came into my mind, after researching and planning, we sold our first set of socks on the 8th August, 2009. After which we then decided to go a step further by registering a business name, which we did successfully. On the 14th of January 2010, “All Socks Nigeria” came to live – fully registered, with the trade name “Allsocks”, today the rest like they say is history, by God’s enablement and with the help of many friends including our staffs, Allsocks is officially five years today.
Today we don’t only run the first and only online socks store in Nigeria – www.allsocks.com.ng we have customized socks for schools like Laurel school, Babes World Int’l, Rehoboth kiddies among others and clothe lines like Outspok’n Clothier etc.
Looking at the Journey so far, most especially where it all started, the achievement the brand has recorded, and the pending dreams yet to be translated into reality, we can’t but thank God almighty for wisdom and the grace provided us when we were going through those hard times and the good times, especially with the successful launching of our online store.
You would agree with me that it is not an easy task starting and running a new line of business in Nigeria, but God’s grace made it possible. The story of our company will be incomplete without mentioning names like Oladotun Olaiya, who initially handed over a pair of socks to me after he returned from a trip to the UK, those pairs birthed the idea of selling and producing socks in Nigeria; Adeyinka Adefila, for giving the name “Allsocks”; Remi Jolaosho, for our logo and branding us well; Mr and Mrs Gladstone Awoniyi, for designing our socks and those deep words of advice; J.J Omojuwa and Lanre Olagunju for the constant mentions and retweets on Twitter and other social media platforms; Rev. Wale Akinronbi, Pastor Tunde Adisa and Rev. Sam Adeyemi and the entire pastorate of Daystar Christian Center for their teachings; my mentor Engr Toyin Adeyinka; and our Team Head for operations and marketing, Femi Adewunmi.
To our clients and business partners like Outspok’n Clothier (our first ever client), Laurel Schools, Rehoboth Kiddies, Babes World International, konga, Jumia, Adibba, SME market hub amongst others, we say a big thank you.
To all our online customers, our wholesalers and friends that stood by us we sincerely can’t thank you enough.
Lastly to my entire family, you guys are the best family ever, and to my late but dearest sister, Yemisi Akigbogun, I miss you big time, may you soul rest in perfect peace.
Thank you all for being a part of our success story we would not have done it without you.
To celebrate our fifth year anniversary (Allsocks at 5) we are declaring 30% sales on our online store www.allsocks.com.ng, from today 14th of January, 2015 to 31st of January, 2015.

Reasons Why You Wear Socks – @Allsocks_
Socks is a small piece of clothing which can easily be forgotten and its importance cannot be over emphasized. Often times we wear socks for the sake of wearing socks, not knowing the importance of wearing them. Wearing socks is as important as wearing your shoe,socks always affect the comfort and fit of shoes – their thickness, cushioning and sweat-fighting capabilities are best exemplified in the non-cotton varieties.
They also provide friction between the leg and the shoe thereby saving the leg from having blisters and at the same time giving the shoe a longer life span.
They are one of the numerous accessories currently in vogue, today, many now make a fashion statement with their socks, by wearing different designs of socks from the polka dots, to the striped, pattern and the bright and colorful socks.
The kind or type of socks you wear says a lot about you, one could easily tell the nature of your job or your working environment by the type of socks you wear; plainly following the “socks rule” says you work in a serious and strict environment or wearing a polka dot, striped, colorful socks says you work in free and friendly environment.
There are different types of socks, work socks, winter socks, formal wear socks, sport socks etc.
