For the Spring 2010 Louis Vuitton fashion show many of the men went down the runway wearing very visible slouchy socks. Often times, they didn’t even quite match the shoes.
Could the message be that fierce socks are in for Spring 2010? Many of the pants were even unnecessarily short to accommodate this micro but prevalent styling note.
Usually it is only very fashionable men who pay attention to this detail, but slouchy socks appear to be going mainstream now that they have made the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 runway.
I wonder how this will translate into real life menswear...
