The best socks will make your day. There’s nothing worse than scrambling for a clean pair when you’re running late, and nothing quite beats the feeling of slipping into a fresh, cozy set. And though socks might not be the star of your outfit, they sure can make a statement. You don’t want to be caught in the boardroom with a mismatched pair—what would your mother say? Plus the right pair of socks can give you a surprising boost of confidence. Just look at that one coworker with the zany socks; isn’t he just the life of the break room?
