上一季，大街上隨處可見時(shí)髦男士挽起長(zhǎng)褲，露出他們的“mankle（男人味腳踝）”。但是這一季，倫敦最in的設(shè)計(jì)師告訴你，是時(shí)候藏起腳踝，穿上“宣言襪（statement socks）”了。

It has been perhaps the most controversial - and maligned - men's styling trend of the twenty-teens. Simply a few centimetres of skin on show between hemline and shoe, the mankle has come to signify membership of a certain tribe (fashion aware, possibly a fan of Wes Anderson).

這可能是最具爭(zhēng)議也是遭受最多詆毀的二十多歲男性的時(shí)尚趨勢(shì)：在褲腳處和腳之間留出幾厘米余地，展示裸露的肌膚。露出這種“男人味腳踝”成為了加入某個(gè)特定品味群體（有時(shí)尚觸覺，很可能是韋斯?安德森的粉絲）的象征。

To the wider world, the mankle has often been a source of derision, a signal of affectation - a sign the wearer is making too much of effort, rather than simply getting dressed.

但是，對(duì)更多人來說，“男人味腳踝”常常成為笑柄，是過于造作的標(biāo)志，表明穿衣人過于努力想表現(xiàn)，而不是簡(jiǎn)單地把衣服穿好。

But at the latest round of menswear catwalk shows - London Collections: Men, currently taking place in the capital - something is afoot. Mankle flesh is nowhere to be seen. Though trousers are often cropped, the ankles underneath have so far been clothed, by ankle boots or statement socks.

不過，最新一季倫敦男裝秀場(chǎng)上，男人們又把腳踝給藏起來了，性感的“男人味腳踝”不見了。雖然褲子常常還是七分長(zhǎng)，腳踝處都被遮住了，要么是套上了及踝的短靴，要么是穿上了“宣言襪”。

The statement sock—whether distinguished by a bright hue or a bold pattern or both at the same time—has become the go-to fashion accessory for guys from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.

宣言襪的顯著特點(diǎn)是色彩鮮艷或圖案醒目，或兩者兼具，這種襪子成為從華爾街風(fēng)靡到硅谷的時(shí)尚配件。

Statement socks are like a stylish man's best kept secret; they represent a level of personal care and sartorial interest that deserves nothing but respect, says GQ.

《GQ》雜志稱，宣言襪就像時(shí)尚男士守護(hù)的最好的秘密，它代表了個(gè)人日常護(hù)理的水平和一種反諷的趣味，值得我們尊重。
