I avoided the tricky question of socks by not wearing any. As for the weather WM it was snowing 2 days ago, now it is quite nice and sunny.

Good lad

Thanks, adding them to the li$t!

Good price too at $62 tax-in! I just bought 'em in a 32/30.

This whole white socks debate has been thought provoking and dare I say it “life changing”
If I may I would like to tip toe across the line and start a whole new ball game.
Namely White underpants! Sure they have their disadvantages, not being very good at camouflaging skid marks for one.
But to borrow a phrase from WM when “Really  crispy” and fresh they are wonderful, don’t you think?

You re a sick guy stan but i think i like you (which is worrying).

Thumbing through Hollywood and the Ivy Look this afternoon, and struck by the pervasiveness of the white / cream sock.  It's everywhere.  Perkins, Lemmon, McQueen, Newman, Wagner.  I'm saying it's a totally valid, going as far as necessary, Ivy option.  Again, I always draw from boom years inspiration.

Happened to be attending a talk/slide show  on this area (when I was a home counties modernist) in the '60s:

Natural/Light tan Levis Sta Prest  cords
Natural Tanner Leather belt
Brown (muted with a slight waxy dressing) Split toe Paraboot slip on (hard to get)

To get me there:
