Although it is not a garment that was given so much attention and importance in the past, for a couple of years stockings or socks have become a key element in clothing, a feature that should not only be limited to youths.

Just as it happens with the tie, this accessory has achieved a fundamental role in the field of current fashion, since the contrasts it achieves in each outfit guarantees the person wearing the stockings to be the center of attention in a meeting or gathering. , without losing elegance and good taste when dressing.

“What is sought is to show and combine this type of stockings that have had a very good response from men in Colombia, since they already understand a little more about fashion thanks to the approval of their partner or their entire social environment” , said Alberto Nieto, general manager of the Carlos Nieto brand.

According to Nieto, the trend is due to another global fashion phenomenon in which "pants are now worn much more closely to the body, the boot becomes narrower and creates considerable space to wear stockings of this type, which they allow the person to get out of the monotony of traditional stockings and offer balance, aesthetics and a very striking color contrast to the outfit”, he said.

According to Mónica Arenas, product assistant at Le Collezioni, "before, men limited their style, but the diversity seen today in fashion means that stockings are no longer something to be hidden, but rather something to be in sight to show the way of being of each one, not of them”.

For this reason, the custom of giving stockings to men has gone from being something uncomfortable to something that can be liked. "This last case, in case you are the type of person who dares to innovate with your wardrobe and bet on new styles," added Arenas.

Although flashy stockings "have been on the market for almost 10 years, during the last two years they have gained much more force in Colombia, although care must be taken with their use and combination," said designer Ricardo Pava.

What is "in" when using themLook for the youthful and modernIf you want an innovative and modern touch to your outfit, try to wear brightly colored stockings. Pastel colors can be combined with the tie.

The jean also applies The use of striking stockings should not only be subject to formal pants. Experts say that they can also be combined with a jean.

Bold Contrasts For visual contrast, don't be afraid to combine your suits with colors like fuchsia, yellow, and red.

What is "out" and should be avoidedNo more than four colors:Because they are so striking, we must avoid wearing these garments with more than three additional colors to those they already wear, because the contrasts are lost.

Avoid straight or wide bootsThe extremes are bad. The very straight or very wide boot does not go well with this fashion, taking into account that priority and prominence are subtracted from the garment.

Do not combine stockings and shoes Combining shoes with stockings is classic, but it is not a good option if you want to venture into this trend.
