What’s With All The Red Socks?

Red Socks - Copyright R.Weal 2011

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that a large number of businessmen in London of the normally dyed in the wool traditional dress wearers have rebelled against the traditional black, white and grey sock.

It seems that red socks with a shorter length trouser leg have become all the rage in and around Fenchurch Street in  London!  Not only were several individuals in my office wearing red socks, but I also saw three other men wearing them when I was out at lunch.

Personally I don’t understand the attraction, but then I’ve never been a dedicated follower of fashion (grin).  It makes you wonder though, is there one individual somewhere out there on the streets of London who in a defiant bid for individuality within the sea of black and grey suits started a new form of rebellion that could soon become its very own form of conventionality?

If you’ve got a theory as to why these normally quite staid and traditional gentleman are getting a pash on for the pillar box red socks then please do let me know.

Tread safely in your reds.
