No one will get cold feet on your big day!

Dresses have been chosen, ties have been coordinated, and flowers have been picked for the big day. Your wedding party is going to look great from head to toe! Those toes are what this blog post is about though- more specifically, socks!

Fun socks for wedding parties has become a big trend, and we at DuBois are loving it! Fun socks are a great way to add some personalization and pop to otherwise formal attire. Considering fun socks, but not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered!

In formalwear rules, for a classic, polished look, dress socks should match the color of either the pants or shoes being worn. For example, if a man is wearing a navy suit with brown shoes, his socks should be either navy or brown. Matching socks will be neutral, and no one will notice them. If you want to keep things simple and classic, basic dress socks are the way to go. DuBois does carry basic dress socks in a variety of colors, and they can be purchased for only $3.00 per pair, in men or boys sizes. These can be priced into the rental packages, or men can purchase them as needed when their rentals are picked up.

Looking for something a little more interesting, but still sophisticated?

Choose one style of fun sock, and have the whole party wear them! Choosing one style will add a little interest while still keeping everyone coordinated. Patterned socks are a great option if you want to go this route: polka dots, argyle, or stripes are just the start! Choose a neutral color that matches the suits, or add some pop by matching the men’s ties or bridesmaid colors. If pants are adjusted to the proper length, socks should not be visible when the men are standing, and thus should not be at all distracting during the ceremony or other formal photographs. However, the socks will show when the men are seated, which makes for a great photo opportunity!

If you are really ready to personalize your party, go with wacky socks- even better if you choose a different pair for each person! Here at DuBois, we hear all kinds of ideas for fun socks for wedding parties. Some themes chosen have been sports teams, beer brands, or different foods. Anything goes! Because fun socks are so on trend, you can find almost anything you could think of online, or even in many stores. If you don’t feel the need to coordinate, go wild and wacky and give each guy a great pair of socks to keep, wear again, and remember the day. Happy shopping!
