Science Finally Reveals the Truth About People Who Wear Funky Socks

Science Finally Reveals the Truth About People Who Wear Funky Socks By Tom Popomaronis.

Sending the message you’re a creative, independent, and powerful person is as easy as putting something different on your feet — the data proves it, too.

Keep it neat and clean and, from there, take “professional” with a grain of salt.
