The attire is dress pants, dress shoes, black belt, black socks, tucked in polo. So they would work out, if I could find them. ---

I don’t know that I would consider Fry’s shoes to be ‘dress shoes’. I would feel it out based on what other people are wearing. Seeing as there is a specific dress code, you need to be careful. ---

They are more casual shoes, IT guys seem to get a little more leeway with dress codes. If you’re wearing khakis or dressier pants to work, these are probably appropriate. Shirt and tie may be a little different. Black absorbs heat… ---

I’ve been wearing only black socks for years now and have never had an issue with them causing my feet to be overly sweaty. Grab a can of the spray powder for feet, shit works awesome. ---

Thin dress socks are awesome. Sure, they might be $15 for 3 pair when you could get 10 pairs for that price at walmart, but they’re worth it. ---

Buy pants longer in length then normal and then don’t wear socks at all. ---

> [@fiend540](#): > > I’ve been wearing only black socks for years now and have never had an issue with them causing my feet to be overly sweaty. Grab a can of the spray powder for feet, shit works awesome. qft. black socks never get ‘dirty’. I only wear white socks with my white shoes black socks wont retain any more heat than white socks inside a shoe. The color/heat problem has to do with the wavelength of the suns ray being absorbed by the black and reflected by the white, an issue your socks wont have to deal with while at work. maybe drill some small holes near the arch of your foot to allow for air flow. no one will ever notice them ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Cotton socks and breathable shoes. I wore a pair of these for a long time. Comfy as a sneaker but looked like a casual dress shoe. Looked fine with slacks and a polo. Maybe a bit too casual if you’re rocking cuffed pants and a tie type of stuff. ugh, no one should be wearing cuffed pants. ---
