Man Style at Smaggle – Have you considered going sockless?

Man Style at Smaggle – Have you considered going sockless?
Carly Jacobs

I have a fabulous dumb-arse boy voice that I use when I’m impersonating any dude when he is being a dick. This voice kind of sounds like a cross between Jonah and those guys that start sentences with non-words like ‘fuckin’ or ‘nah’. I hope this description is making sense to my non-Australian readers. Anyway it’s with this voice that my male friends have rejected my advice to go sock-less. ‘Fuckin’… nah, man… no way. That’s heaps pov.’ is my dramatised version of their repulsion. However, my internet man friends, consider the awesomeness… please.

Points to remember

* No socks + day suits = super cool European day wear.

* Unkempt hair, beards, moustaches make the look a little more casual cool. Highy recommended.

* Make a statement with the shoes. Go tan, light brown. Steer clear of black shoes and black pants or it will make you look like you actually forgot socks instead of making a conscious (and might I add fabulous) fashion choice.

* Have the right attitude. Be confident. You meant to not wear socks. So mean it.

So, my gentleman friends… who is brave enough to ditch the socks? Twit pics please! @ladysmaggle, or Facebook me. I want evidence darlings!

Happy sock free days my lovely Man Smagglets!

    American reader wonders: What in the world does “heaps pov” mean? (I get the non-word thing, which is mostly referred to as “frat speak” in my circle.)

      Heaps pov is short for ‘poverty’ so like something that’s kind of lower class. It’s not the nicest word but it doesn’t literally mean poor. It just mean crap.

  1. […] This label was also a huge favourite of mine. It felt very French with boat necked striped t-shirts and their subtle use of navy. Any of their coats would be divine on Mr Smaggle. Oh and what’s this? Shoes and no socks? I have a feeling someone wrote about this recently… […]
