4 Reasons Men Can't Wear White Socks

2_flash.jpg
 

I had to laugh In Majorca...elderly British men wearing white socks, sandals and long jungle shorts..waiting for the newspaper shop to open at 6 am..tapping their watches when the newsagent eventually arrived at 8..

It's what we do!!
 

Hubby always wears white socks with his gym shoes for work.. as the white cotton absorbs the sweat. When you run 12 hour shifts you can't have sweaty feet. He wears black socks with dress shoes... and no socks with sandals.
 
My nephew wears white socks, because he's allergic to dyes in colored socks. Hubby never wears white socks (or sandals).
 
This past summer on TV I heard many male talk show hosts discuss the NEW men's fashion of wearing no socks in regular shoes! And later in the summer I saw some men doing just that. Men in business suits, going sockless! I just can't see how that is good for either a person's feet, or the shoes. That "fashion" statement won't last here in Canada anyway. Too cold in winter to go sockless.

Also, men, in warm weather, if you must wear socks in sandals, stay indoors, and please, stop pulling those socks up to your knees!
 
Sandals should never,ever be worn with socks. What`s the point? Hubby has always worn white athletic socks with his jeans or work pants. For the past several years,he wears short black athletic socks with his jean shorts or black shorts in the summer because they just look better than white since his work shoes and athletic shoes are black. But anywhere else than work,he wears flip flops,no socks,obviously...

I never wear socks with my boat shoes. Docksides. I sometimes will wear black anklets with my slides. A lot of the kids in Florida do the same. That's how I started doing it. I saw some young guys in the mall with black anklets and slides and I liked it, so I occasionally do the same.
 
Aren't we something? Somebody somewhere tells us we should or shouldn't do something and we follow suite like a flock of sheep or someone who has no taste or will of their own. We must be in step with the fashion of the day, with those who decide our fate, like those IBM Repair men of yesteryear, mindful of the stripes in our ties. To do otherwise is to do or be what? A rebel, a nonconformist? I subscribe to a business dress code and deride a business casual ever came in to existence. But what teenage fashion expert can dictate the color of my socks worn with my sandals and my vodka tonic? If so, shame on me.

Sock it to em' drifter! Advertising has always been the elephant in the room. At our age, I think we wear what we want. I don't even know what sliders are, and when I first saw anklets in the store, I thought "half the material for twice the price....but I do have a few pair of white ones (Gifts). Never did like black socks with shorts. Closest I've been to a "fashion horse", is when I get "nagged" a little, about my old duds. So,drifter what do you think about white socks?:)
 
I wear white socks when I'm wearing mostly white clothes, especially white shoes.

I ALWAYS wear white undershorts then. I don't want my purple polka dot undershorts showing through my white pants.

And I wear white socks with my mocs with jeans or shorts. Otherwise, I'm with Drifter and his post.

Consider me an outcast if you wish. You can take your opinion and sh (Oops. Someone's at the door.)

...probably just the fashion police checking for white socks after Labor Day!:)
 
Naw Meanderer. It was the Jehovah Witness crew. I didn't even open the door.

And Drifter, I take club soda with my vodka. Other than that, we're much alike in our opinions.
 
:D Some funny pics on here.I agree with Drifter that you shouldn't listen to the fashion police, however some people do appear to have got dressed in the dark.No real point to socks with sandals though.Do you think they are ashamed of their bare feet?My husband won't wear sandals [with or without socks] he wears deck type shoes [with dark -ish socks] or Oxford brogues in Winter. he has lovely feet [he could be a foot model!] so it's a waste really.We don't have that much hot weather here so the sockless look has never caught on for men. I blame Sonny Crockett [Miami Vice] for this look.
