Colorful socks are the perfect way to do just that, ... 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.

And from the first day, when I wore a pair of navy-blue Etro socks with light-pink stars, I saw a sharp uptick in the number of double takes and "nice/great/cool socks" that came my way.
