Part of Einstein’s charm was his disheveled look. In addition to his uncombed hair, one of Einstein’s peculiar habits was never to wear socks.
Einstein went without socks everywhere – sailing, formal dinners and even to the White House. To Einstein, socks were a pain because they often would get holes in them.
There are two ways to be fashionable –
Following trends – and staying ahead of the curve
Being authentic – and expressing oneself, naturally
Both work. One leaves a stronger impression.
