Bold statement, yes, but also true. These are bar-none my favorite, most versatile pants I have come across. Plus, they are: Slim-fitting for a ‘Smart’ Look Comfortable High Quality and Durable Inexpensive Sure these aren’t going to replace your slacks or dress pants, unless you work in San Francisco. I went a bit overboard and recently bought 4 pairs (in addition to the two I already had) to diversify my color palate. I now wear them almost exclusively to work, and many times on the weekend paired with a t-shirt and flip flops. …and they come in so many different colors!

Now a staple in my sock drawer, I probably have more Happy Socks than anything else, including athletic socks.

Basically the only think I won’t pair these colorful patterned socks with are athletic shoes. While many dudes may think this is a silly and unnecessary accessory, I can assure you, I have received nothing but positive
