The Eternal Elegance of Formal Burgundy
This particular pair appears in dashing burgundy, a color with a long and storied history during the Golden Age of Menswear as a dignified but bold hue typical of Warm Weather Black Tie, Festive Black Tie, or for an elegant twist on more conventional Black Tie. Whether setting off a colorful boutonniere or harmonizing with a burgundy cummerbund, these burgundy formal evening socks provide a pop of unexpected color without compromising on the dignity of the occasion.
How to Wear These Burgundy Formal Evening Socks
Formal socks are necessary for formal dress codes like Black Tie, White Tie, and morning wear, although colorful varieties like these are best reserved for Festive and similarly more casual Black Tie occasions. They should be worn with opera pumps, formal evening slippers, patent leather or similarly formal oxfords, and formal dress boots. Because these socks are so sublimely thin and breathable, some of our customers also enjoy wearing them in warm and hot weather to keep their feet cool.
Formal Sock Etiquette
For conventional Black Tie, White Tie, or morning wear occasions, for which higher degrees of formality are expected, you should wear traditional black formal socks. On certain occasions, including events for which the dress code is Creative Black Tie, Festive Black Tie, or something similar, however, you have the opportunity to bend formal conventions and add vivacity to your look with colorful formal socks.
The burgundy of these socks is perfectly acceptable for all but the most formal Black Tie events. Whether harmonizing with other colorful accessories in your ensemble, setting off a toned dinner jacket, or serving as unexpected visual interest, these elegant socks will be right at home on the deck of a cruise ship in an ivory dinner jacket, ringing in the New Year at a swanky gala with matching bow tie and cummerbund, or when you are hosting friends at home in a plush smoking jacket.
