DTMX stands for Doctor Tripp & The Moonlight Xpress, who are 2 the most important people behind this project: its creativity and brainstorm. A time ago, we were looking for a pair of socks that kept our feet fresh and comfortable for a long day, but yet trendy and fashionable. We also wanted socks with an eye catching, timeless look.
The socks that are on the market today offer either one or the other and we felt like there had to be something better out there. So one day while searching the internet for those exclusive socks, it dawned on us to create our own socks for healthy, comfortable feet that incorporates fashion, sustainability & innovation. That's how DTMX socks were born. Freshness and functionality of DTMX socks is a core value of the brand. Antibacterial effect of our garments is due to silver (Ag) nano particles blended into the Siltex* yarn. All our socks have antiseptic and deodorizing (anti-odor) effects resulting from the suppression of the growth of various bacteria and fungi. The antibacterial effect is permanent and can not be removed by washing. Doctor Tripp, CEO & Founder

“Argyle socks are the visible sign of the invisible nerd fighter,” says John Green, proud nerd fighter*, argyle sock-wearer and internationally bestselling author. Oh and Internet star. Oh, and two of his books have been made into movies.
Just another living example of the notion that people who wear crazy socks are brilliant and successful. If you think about it, it really is amazing how some people can treat socks like “just something to wear over feet” and other people can view socks as genuine and exciting possibilities for comfort, style, expression, and creativity in general. What’s more, research indicates that wacky and crazy socks actually reveal useful and meaningful insights about a human being’s character and intelligence. Character socks are an iconic fashion trend that continues to gain momentum. Along with Scots using tartan to declare rebellion and 1960’s women rebelling against the “maxi” skirt trend by wearing increasingly-shorter minis, wearers of colorful, interesting socks demonstrate the importance of embodied cognition. There is serious science behind this: embodied cognition is the idea that what we wear is a direct expression of our mental state…and vice versa. Sometimes even the most simple of tasks is a struggle. What should be an easy process can become complicated and confusing – especially when you start overthinking and focusing too much on the details. For some this happens when it comes to tying their shoe laces. Yet for others, it happens when they’re getting dressed each morning. It seems that many people out there are having trouble deciding what socks to wear with the outfit they’ve put together. And here at DTMX SOCKS, we can sympathies with this issue. It used to be so simple just a few years ago. Menswear was not as popular then as it is now – even a pair of striped socks made a statement. That’s if you could find a pair of striped or bold colored socks in the first place. Today we’re spoiled for choice, and it’s this choice that can leave you feeling overwhelmed when it comes to making what should be such a simple decision. Getting Your Sock Choice Right Luckily, that’s where we come in. We’re set to outline a few simple rules, tricks and techniques to bear in mind when pairing your socks with your outfit, taking the stress away from the process. After all, we’re fairly sure you have more important things to be focusing on than whether your socks are really working with the suit you’re wearing to the office. Tips and Tricks 1. If In Doubt, Go Tonal This is the most foolproof method you can use: choose a pair of socks that are either a shade darker or lighter than the trousers you’re wearing. For example, if you’re wearing a mid-grey suit (and if you aren’t, why not?), think about wearing a pair of charcoal socks. Maybe all your dark socks are in the wash? Then why not try a pair of cobalt blue socks with your navy chinos? It’s extremely difficult to go wrong when you utilize this technique. 2. Tonal Textures & Patterns Stick to the rule above but this time introduce some texture or a subtle pattern to your sock choice. For instance, you could reach for a charcoal pair made from thicker wool, complete with a fleck/marl, to pair with your grey suit. Alternatively, you could incorporate a subtle stripe or polka dot into the mix. Just remember that textured styles can add weight to a look, so if you do start using thicker socks remember to team them with pieces made from similarly heavy/rugged materials such as denim, leather, tweed, wool and corduroy. 3. Make a statement Use solid or color-blocked socks to add a sense of sartorial know-how to your look. Bold toned socks are the easiest way to dip your toe into thoughtful accessorizing. Regardless of how cool you think it may make you look, if your choice of sock is not complementary or contrasting correctly then it will clash and look like an eyesore. When it comes to the question color, we suggest that you mirror your sock color with another color that you’re wearing above the waistline. This color continuity ties your outfit together. If however, you’re already great at color coordination, do as you like. At the end of the day, if it looks good, it looks good. 4. Let Your Socks Be the Star
We’re big proponents of socks that show off your personality. But if you decide to rock a novelty pair, consider toning down the other aspects of your ensemble. The more toned down the rest of your outfit is, the more striking your socks will be in comparison. If you really love your novelty socks, don’t hide them from the world. Try cuffing your pants or having them tailored with no break (or even cropped) in order put your socks on display. Choosing what to wear to a party can be a lot trickier than it first appears. Knowing the type of event you’re attending is extremely important. Here’s how to dress for a party. FORMAL PARTY - BLACK TIE Black tie is at the high end of men’s formal party clothes. The good news is that the tuxedo, though sometimes expensive, is actually an effortlessly stylish dress code to nail, encompassing a single-breasted dinner jacket, tailored black trousers, crisp white dress shirt, hi shine leather shoes (a court shoe or oxfords) and, of course, a black dickie bow. And, on the note of expense, even if you wear it only a couple of times a year, a well-made dinner suit is timeless and could last you a decade or more, so think of it as an investment. As with white tie, the key here is to keep it classic: stick with traditional colors – black or midnight navy only – and go for a self-tie bow tie if you can. It may take some time to master the actual tying, but you will feel oh-so-suave when you can hang it loosely round your neck at the end of the night: much more James Bond than school prom. CASUAL PARTY The key to cracking a casual dress code is deciphering what kind of ‘casual’ your host means. A party in a smarter setting – a fancy family home, a wine bar – will require a classier kind of casual than a party at the pub or on the beach, for example. The good news is that men’s casual party clothes do not include a tuxedo or tie, so leave your formal finery at home. The bad news – depending on how you look at it – is that party clothes for men is the perfect opportunity to express yourself and demonstrate what a well-groomed guy you are. No pressure! Just because the function might be relaxed, doesn’t mean you should let your style slide. Sure, a casual dress code generally means anything goes, but – since you’re attending a party – you still need to put in some effort with your outfit and appearance. Here are the top men’s casual party clothes looks. WARMING UPS, PUBS & ANYTHING THAT FOLLOWS... If your Saturday night starts (and ends) at a club, you need to make sure you feel comfortable and confident. Good fitting jeans with a statement t-shirt and trendy shoes looks cool, as does a casual shirt with sleeves rolled up and 2-3 buttons left undone. Just be sure you’ve chosen material that breathes: nothing ruins a look like sweat patches. Seriously. RAVE As we all know a rave can get messy. However, this is no excuse to drop all pretence of style and dive straight into raving attire. Keep it casual but sleek. Put on a pair of kicks (preferably not white as they don’t withstand moshpits) and opt for dark jeans or chinos. A slim fit tee on top works well, but avoid anything that will show up obvious sweat patches. Add a statement jacket to tie the outfit together, just please remember to put it in the cloakroom; shoe prints on jackets aren’t a nice surprise come morning.
