When it gets cold out, people tend to start dressing in neutral colors.

Gray, navy, black - it all starts to get a bit depressing after a while.

So to brighten up the winter drab, you should add some color to your wardrobe.

Colorful socks are the perfect way to do just that, without compromising the professionalism of a suit.

We've put together a list of both luxury and affordable dress socks that will be perfect to wear to work (or for drinks after.)

When it comes to colorful dress socks, you don't want to go too crazy. Bright neon striped socks will look a bit weird under a suit. So stick to colors like blue, red, green, and purple to add just a hint of flavor. 

If you're on the more conservative side, navy or royal blue socks are the way to go. But if you're feeling bolder, get yourself some red ones.

Here are your cheaper options for dress socks. We're huge fans of the unique shark chase socks and the bicycle-logo socks.

If you're a bit on the conservative side, we recommend going for the ribbed block socks by Happy Socks. No one will be able to see the red and light blue parts of the sock when you're wearing shoes, so it'll look like you're wearing navy socks.
