Let’s Talk: Mankle Etiquette

When it comes to men’s footwear fashion – the game can be a little tricky. How many folds…? Trouser type…? Socks to be seen or unseen? I mean… it’s a low-lying jungle out there! (just kidding – its not so bad).

 

But to help you navigate your way around summer style - we’ve crafted these three quick mankle-bearing tips.

For those days when you’re feeling for a fashion-win!

 

We hope you love them… (we know your ankles will)!

 

 

 

Distinctly Formal or Classically Casual?

 

Keep the dress-code in mind to avoid any unfavorable gazes.

 

A few mankle-bearing safe zones could be:

a) summer weddings

b) stylish lunches or

c) casual work-events

 

It’s all in the hem. Generally speaking - hems that cut off on or just above the ankle – are the recipe for success. But hey, don’t be afraid to push the boundaries a little – do what works for you!

 

 

Ankle-bearing style is mostly about saddling-up with the right set of pants. Much like whisky, wine or your favourite gin - hit the right notes, pair with the right flavours and you have a combo that won’t let you down!

 

When it comes to chilled-out chino’s, fitted suits or even light-weight linen longs – bearing those ankles is a sure shot for Summer. Wider hems may need some extra tucking and folding, whereas light-weight fabrics may require some tailoring to stay in place. Either way a well-fitted pair of trousers is sure to bring the whole look together.

 

Oh and just one last tip… (and it’s a biggie) – don’t forget to secret-sock it!

No one needs that kind of drama in their lives...
