    So often I hear that it's "out" to wear white sox. Most people don't seem to wear white sox except me. Well, I must be "out".


    I suppose that no one except me here wears white sox???

    Doesn't it depend on the outfit?
    If you're wearing a tuxedo or suit and dark shoes than white socks are going to look a little dodgy..
    but if for some reason you're wearing white pants with light coloured shoes anything but white would probably look a little dodgy..
    or maybe I'm just talking out my ass
    I wear black/dark stuff all day every day..

    I think they are okay with sandals.

    Be sure to wear black rim glasses with them

    oh and plaid shorts with a belt would do nicely.

    Both my husband and I wear white sox with our tennis shoes and shorts... I've seen alot of people doing this that don't wear sandals. Seems quite common, actually.

    They are always "in" as far as I'm concerned.

    I wear black sneakers to work, since I do alot of walking, and no way I'm gonna wear black socks. At home, I wear another pair of black sneakers, and in summer I wear the over-the foot socks that don't show above the sneaker. In cooler weather I wear white socks, pushed down, with my black sneakers. I always wear plain white - no stripes on socks! Striped socks look dorky*.

    I never wear white sneakers. And I hate black socks.

    When I was still (barely) active as a jw, I'd wear white socks to the meetings. And I wore black high-top sneakers too, near the very end of my KH days.

    *In the 1970s, the look was totally different. I wore white, striped socks, pulled up over my calf, with shorts that were very short. When I see film of NBA players in the 70s, I can't believe that look was actually "in". It looks totally ridiculous now.....and one day, it'll probably be back.

    No dad blast it, it's part of the White Cultural Imperative that middle aged crackers wear BLACK almost knee length SOCKS with shorts and tennis shoes...plaid shorts are great...especially assessorized with a thin black belt...and set off with the horn rimmed glasses. SMOOCHES
