In the workplace, bird socks can add a subtle touch of personality to your attire when styled carefully. Follow these tips to keep it professional:

• Length and Coverage:
  Opt for over-the-calf or mid-calf lengths in business casual settings. Avoid no-show socks, as they may look too informal.

  Pair dark wash jeans with black bird-themed dress socks for a sleek look. Purple or burgundy designs can add understated flair. Stick to smaller, subtle patterns to maintain a professional tone.
