Just the other day, I reported on the ankle sock and lace-ups trend that sprouted over the course of the spring/summer men’s shows in Milan and Paris.
Yes, ankle socks are slowly becoming a source of comfort and style for those men who would rather not go sockless for the summer. And, ahem, given I’m not one to endorse socklessness; I’m mighty thrilled at this development.
However, as with most trends, for it to reach bonafide status it helps to have a following beyond just one individual and one locale.
The Sartorialist spotted the ankle sock in Milan and Paris during the spring/summer 2009 men’s shows and my hopes were ignited. Now all the way in the blonde hair, blue-eyed, avant-garde populous of Sweden, Face Hunter has sighted yet another ankle sock look and I’m feeling real gutsy about rocking ankle socks avec dress shoes!
I don’t know about you all, but I think we’ve stumbled unto something here…stay tuned!

No, it’s really hot! You should totally rock them! PLUS I’d love to see the new ankle sock designs that’ll stem from this!
