Are your socks happy?


In today's dress code your socks are just as important as the kicks you stuff them in. No more solids, it's time to spruce up your sock game with print!

Designed in Sweden, Happy Socks is paying attention to detail with a large array of socks that will literally brighten up your day, hence the name. The vibrant colors and bold patterns are hard to pass up and sure to be a conversation piece when styled with contrasting pieces from your wardrobe. Take a look at some of the male fashion pics from the Happy Socks lookbook:









Here are my 3 personal favorites from the collection:


 Leopard



 Color Block



Big Polka Dot

Happy Socks can be purchased on their Official website here. Although the socks are happy, the prices won't make you sad. A starting price of $12.00 is the going rate to get your hands or shall I say feet in a pair!

This sock brand proves although you can have a mean shoe game, your socks can be happy (lol).

Street Style Spotlight: Kevin Brisco


Last night I stopped Memphian, Kevin Brisco for his superb street style. When asked to describe his style he said "Man, I'm just doing me, I like to dress comfortable... plus I read the X-Stylez blog" (PLUG!!). Well Kevin's "comfortable" style has landed his own post! I like this look because its everyday: going to class, grocery shopping, hanging out with friends etc. The simplicity of this outfit is very easy to accomplish. Last week I talked breifly about the importance of having an everyday go-to denim jacket in my Patchwork post. So here's THE BREAK DOWN:


Knitted cap: J Crew $20.00
STYLING TIP:  Try placing the cap towards the back of your head to give a relaxed look.


Plaid Shirt: Uniqlo $20 


Denim Jacket: Levi's $65


Bracelets: From his little sister Princess (Most woven bracelets are unisex )
STYLING TIP:  Try cuffing or rolling the sleeves of your jacket to show your wrist work (accessories).


Adjustable watch and band: 
Ebay $40.00


STYLING TIP: Try changing your watch band to coordinate with your outfit. 


Khakis: J Crew $65 
STYLING TIP:  Cuff pants over boots to show socks


Knitted Camp Socks: J Crew $12.50


 Desert Boots: Clark's $59.00 (a steal at shoe retailer DSW) --Online Clarks boots are $99.00
STYLING TIP:  Daily wear and tear will create the distressed look. Just wear and walk. 


"I would say I'm normally morally opposed to spending $65 for khakis and $20 for a hat but that's how stuff  went down, I was feeling rich."- Kevin Brisco
