OTC or No Show - why only swim half way? Cotton for summer, fine wool for fall/winter/spring, cashmere if you can afford it (fall/winter), and silk for formal.

I like your tie and matching pocket square (said with an abundance of sarcasm) lol

Always match your leathers! Own 200 pairs of shoes, belts, and watch straps in every conceivable shade and color!

I mean, I kinda agree with the snobs on this one, Brian. I like the sockless look, no-shows, and obviously athletic socks for athletic wear, but wearing crew socks or other non OTC socks with suits just seems silly to me.

Excuse me, Sir...the dimple on your tie is 5 mm off-center.

Your clothes have to be 100% natural material. If you even got 1 or 2% of stretchy material it’s trash.

How many centimeters so you cuff, 'bro?

If one is wearing shorts, I firmly believe socks should be pushed all the way down to the ankles, over-the-calf length or otherwise. This applies to colored socks or white. With trousers I don't see that it matters as long as the socks are comfortable. In that case I'd want the socks to be long enough to hide skin when you sit down.
