I have calves like that, but skinny ankles. I've never thought about wearing long socks to draw the attention north to the calf region, but I'm taking notes from this very stylish and fit gentleman.
The only thing I'm unsure about is the pink glasses, too much?
i can never tell if people like this dress so fantastically intentionally. they look so very relaxed, almost as if they just happened to put on something fabulous. it gives it such real feeling.
I cannot think of words to describe how much I love this man. The hair, the glasses, the jackets, the shorts, belt, lovely legs and sock! I mean it is wonderful.
One could not hope for a better-cut pair of short trousers than those. This man has pulled a well-studied shorts/jacket combination perfectly, thus avoiding that Haircut 100 look.
Wow… He should have cycled a lot to deliver the mail, he's got awesome calves and hes quite proud to show them off. Such a pity he's a fashion victim, looks like a real man.
this guys is the epitome of great calves. he's accenting them with the vibrant socks, and he's totally winning me over with the elton john-esque glasses!<3

This man has an amazing sense of proportion!!
I wouldn't think this length of shorts would work with his thick calves, but it does beautifully.
