    It isn’t taboo to wear a pair of socks with your moccasins! When the weather gets cold, slip on a pair of socks to keep your feet nice and insulated. Both crew socks and no-show socks look best with long pants, while loafer or no-show socks are more flattering with shorts.[1]
    • Ankle socks are a good substitute if you don’t have any no-show socks lying around.
