Should your socks match your shoes or your pants?
A good question that is asked pretty often. Here are the answers:The primary rule to this is that your socks should always match the color of your pants because they are an extension of your pants. Think about when you're sitting down or walking and your socks become visible, a consistent sock—pant color will not interrupt your silhouette.A sub rule to this is that you always want that sock color to be a equal or darker shade of your pant color, not a brighter shade. So if you are wearing navy blue pants, you should wear navy blue or midnight blue socks.The secondary rule is that you are wearing a suit or pants on the lighter side of the color scale, it's okay to match your sock to the color of shoe. For example, if you're wearing beige-colored khakis, slacks, etc., you don't need to wear beige-colored socks.Some men like to wear multi-colored socks with different patterns (argyles, stripes, etc.) or solid bright colored socks to match a pocket square or tie. This may be okay in certain occasions but stay away from this if you're going to work or an interview.Hope this helps!

What color of pants should I wear with a maroon shirt?
Before getting started and listing out the colors such as black, grey, navy, brown or beige, which I called the “easy-to-match” colors, I’d like to point out the maroon color itself.Maroon is one of the red colors, in which also includes burgundy, auburn, crimson and so on. Maroon and burgundy are both popular choices for clothes, however maroon consists of more brown and the other purple.According to the differences, even though both are perfectly fine with the easy-to-match colors, I’d suggest maroon shirt with beige or brown and burgundy shirt with navy or jeans.ther than that, maroon itself is always an option, giving people a fresh, fashionable and passionate image.More about men fashion please click me :)
Can you wear Penny Loafers with short khakis?
I would say yes though I agree that a full preppy look is required (age is not important, the look is). Penny Loafers should be worn with smart shorts and a polo shirt and maybe a sweater drooped over your shoulders. People say different things abut wearing them without socks, but this may give you blisters. Traditionally Penny Loafers were worn with socks but these would be three quarter length or knee socks not ankle socks (not tube socks that would ruin the look). They still commonly wear penny loafers with long socks in Bermuda. This first link (see below) is from a catalogue from the 50s in the US for the ultra preppy look. There are two variants of socks with khaki shorts here, matching long socks or green argyle socks. The style went out and then came back in, in the 80s (I remember guys wearing knee high argyle socks or plain coloured long golf socks with Bermuda shorts with shoes like penny loafers at my university). In the second link (from 1988) they recommend the knee high argyle socks for sophisticated (and confident) men. In the third link there is a place you can get plain socks. Of these the beige would work best with the shoes and shorts imho. If the cycle repeats itself (as fashion cycles often do) due back in, in the 2010s. All manner of trad and retro styles seem to be returning at mens fashion shows. If you can't cope with long socks you might get away with white crew socks but that would look better with plaid shorts rather than khakis.
