(Dan Tri) - HIEUTHUHAI's choice of white high socks for his dark leather shoes is causing controversy on social networks. In fact, the combination of white socks and black shoes is currently a trend promoted by young people.
Principles for choosing dark socks with dress shoes
Traditionally, wearing dress shoes is considered a way to complete a gentleman’s style and give him a polished look. Choosing the right pair of socks is equally important.
Socks not only protect the feet, avoid dirt and bacteria, but are also considered an important accessory in creating a neat appearance for gentlemen.

Traditionally, when wearing dress shoes, most men avoid choosing white socks because they always believe that light-colored socks go well with sneakers, sandals or loafers.
When paired with a black suit and black shoes, white socks can create a sense of dissonance, incongruity, and reduce the aesthetic of the outfit. One feature that makes white socks less popular is their ability to easily attract dust and show stains.
According to fashion experts, the basic rule when choosing socks for dress shoes is that the color of the socks should be the same or darker than the color of the pants. This creates harmony and continuity for the outfit. For example, light gray pants go with dark gray socks, dark blue pants go with black socks, brown pants go with brown socks...

Plain socks without patterns are also always suggested when combined with dress shoes to bring an elegant look to the wearer. When choosing socks to wear with dress shoes, many people only choose socks that reach the ankle and close to the knuckle.
For the above reasons, black or dark socks are always considered a safe choice for dress shoes. However, the combination of white high socks with dress shoes by HIEUTHUHAI is considered to be completely contrary to traditional views.
Is the combination of white socks with leather shoes uncivilized?
The male rapper often wears jeans, trousers, shirts with black leather shoes and white high socks. The name HIEUTHUHAI became the focus of netizens when there were opinions that his fashion combinations were impolite and uncultured...
Most of the comments refuted the criticism of the male singer. Many comments said that culture is expressed through the knowledge and behavior of an individual, not through socks. Many designers also spoke out about the incident.

Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, designer Ha Duy said that fashion is a continuous application and creation. Fashion creates style for users with unique combinations.
"In the past, people wore dress pants, white socks, and black shoes, which would be exposed and look a bit old. But HIEUTHUHAI wears shorts, white socks, and black shoes, which is normal and very youthful. I think this way of dressing is not wrong, and is even loved by many young people," said designer Ha Duy.
Ha Duy added that school uniforms in some Asian countries also have similar combinations, for example black or dark blue uniforms with high-necked white socks. "This combination creates a youthful, modern look for young people and does not deserve to be condemned as in the past days," Ha Duy frankly said.
Designer Cao Minh Tien pointed out that the evaluation of a person is not based on their socks but on the communication and behavior between people.

"In recent years, in many collections, black shoes are often paired with white socks. It is a fashion style. "Clothes do not make the monk" so do not judge others by the way they dress. Moreover, that way of dressing is supported by many people, creating a highlight on the outfit like HIEUTHUHAI", Cao Minh Tien shared.
Designer Cao Minh Tien believes that we should support the creativity and innovation of young people for fashion to develop.
"If you make an assessment, it should be based on knowledge and understanding of the industry. Don't just say it for the sake of it and put others down like that," Cao Minh Tien said.
Young designer Ha Thanh Viet also expressed that the opinion that HIEUTHUHAI wearing white socks with black leather shoes is impolite and uncultured is harsh. To him, in fashion, combining street style clothes such as shorts with white socks and black shoes like that is normal, appropriate and harmonious.
"Each person will have a different style and I think we should respect their personality. HIEUTHUHAI is an idol of the youth, his image represents the youth. The audience who follows and loves him is not too old or pursues a royal style.
Therefore, HIEUTHUHAI's way of dressing and coordinating clothes is not wrong or disrespectful to the audience. On the contrary, from the perspective of a professional like me, it also creates a new and innovative style for fashion.
Even if HIEUTHUHAI wore black socks, it would look offensive. The rapper's white socks are not made of traditional material, so they follow a different style. Therefore, everyone should not be too harsh. Let's support young people to find creativity and new colors for themselves and the fashion industry in general," said designer Ha Thanh Viet.
The trend of combining black shoes with white socks is flooding the world's catwalks

The combination of black shoes and white socks appears a lot on the streets and fashion runways. Even fashionistas who do not know this pair are considered outdated.
Gucci and Louis Vuitton's Spring Summer 2024 collections both featured models wearing black shoes and white socks in a striking twist. And no one can blame the designers of these famous brands.
World-famous stars such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo and Hailey Bieber are no exception to this trend. Vogue magazine believes that wearing white socks creates a visual effect, helping to lengthen the legs, especially when combined with skirts or shorts.

Some fashion editors around the world also believe that the rule of wearing black socks and dark shoes that they were taught is gradually becoming outdated. According to them, extreme adherence to old dress codes can prevent bold, progressive fashion ideas from developing.
