what color socks are you wearing?

Fixin' to get ready to go out, will probably choose the pair on the left. It's not like anyone sees them anyway most of the time as I'm wearing boots and in my truck, LOL, but still . . .

Hi Patti :)



When I was 16 I had a best friend (female) who told me what she thought of my

white tennis socks and white sneakers.

She made it pretty clear that it was her or the white socks and sneakers :D

Ever since it's black socks and black shoes.

There's always a girl involved when a guy makes some life altering decision like completely changing shoe and sock color.

Funny that I stumbled onto this thread today, as lately I've been struggling with an existential dilemma regarding sock color.

When I was a kid, the most heinous fashion sins that a guy could commit were either wearing white socks with (dark) shoes or wearing dark socks with (usually white or light-colored) sneakers. I've followed those "rules" for decades. I have a drawer full of identical white athletic socks, since I almost always (in cold weather) wear white or light-colored sneakers; I have just a couple of pairs of dark socks for the rare occasions I have to "dress up" and wear (dark) shoes.

Well, just last week I decided that I needed new sneakers and went shopping, and for the first time in my life -- and for reasons I don't understand myself -- I came home with a pair of solid-black sneakers (labeled for "cross-fit" or something). And now I don't know what kind of socks to wear with them. It was easy when sneakers were white and shoes were dark, but... dark sneakers? I want to wear white athletic socks since they're athletic shoes (and because I already have a drawerful of them), but that looks funny to me and makes me feel like I should wear dark socks.

Maybe y'all can help me solve the existential crisis so I can get back to sleeping at night?

i only wear black sneakers, and no surprise, but i usually wear black socks. you, too, could wear black socks with your dark sneakers.

or you could get heather grey socks - then your socks will all have both black and white. well, sorta...

@Lobster11 I'd suggest neon pink, lime or orange.
