defiantbadgirl -> a fashion question (4/23/2009 8:26:40 PM)
Is it a big fashion no no to wear black socks with black sneakers? I went for the layered look with black and turquois tank tops and shorts but I didn't have any turquois socks so I just wore black. Someone told me I should have worn white instead even though it would've clashed with my whole outfit. Need some opinions please.

When i noted Your post on "As The Collar Turns" all i could imagine was the post originating from a ninety y/o man wearing black socks and black shoes and his shorts hicked to kindom come!!! Since You are a female and on the younger side(thirties being the new twenties, so its' said), i would not advise black socks w/ black shoes unless You had colored tights underneath, or the shoes in question happen to be six inch heels. i would have opted for a colorful wedge(with blue in it), or sandal with a decent heel, minus all socks ..... makes shorts rock, imho!!! b.~

Black goes with everything. You don't want your feet to stand out unless you're wearing killer shoes. Keep socks neutral and in a color that won't clash with your outfit. The black socks matched your outfit, so you're good. White socks would have looked out of place.

~FR~ I (as a man) have done it before with nary a second glance. A lot of guys do, actually, and it doesn't seem to be kosher to wear anything BUT black socks with black shoes unless they're sneakers, and then it's just a choice. I'd say that if it matches your outfit well... then the only person who's going to notice is someone who's looking for a problem in your outfit, in my experience ;)

Don't wear black on hot days...

Do not take fashion advice from anyone who suggests white socks with black sneakers.

marie2 -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 3:56:44 AM)
Black sneakers are a fashion faux pas in and of themselves.

InTonguesslut -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 5:02:48 AM)
personally i'd have gone for no socks. I wouldn't be seen dead in flat shoes either so it would have been killer heels for me lol.

camille65 -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 5:05:26 AM)
What kind of socks? Thats important. Where they knee socks? Bobby socks? Tennis socks? With knee socks um, I wouldn't wear them black or white with shorts. Tennis socks or crew style I would have gone with black, folded down.

sirsholly -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 5:07:10 AM)
no socks...white canvas tennis shoes [:)]

housesub4you -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 5:10:34 AM)

ok- per a woman. I see. I tend to prefer socks as the gym shoes get stinky. so the no show socks could work. Maybe an ankle bracelet could add flare. lately- when I put on pants- my toe rips a hole in the knee. I hate that.

AngelGeena -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 6:37:20 AM)
or time to trim the toenails?

kittinSol -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 6:46:19 AM)
I didn't even want to envisage that possibility [&:] .

Other then socks and underwear, I shop at thrift stores. I also fluctuate in weight- size- so I learned to not throw out pants. One problem- is I ruin clothes by working around the house. I plan on just relaxing then- I decide to do a task- you know just a little bit. lol Oh- I do trim my nails- the toe nail also has ripped sheets.

I perfer to have my socks match my underwear.

(Too many dyes in colored socks... my skin reacts, and black tennis shoes are cheapest in size 16 T.T) EDIT: No, black socks do not kill people... at least, not to my knowledge

LadyHibiscus -> RE: a fashion question (4/24/2009 10:21:21 AM)
Personally, I would not toss in a glaring colour like white if there was no white in the outfit. I would have gone for no socks (or those anklets that don't show) or black ones. Fashionista Hib
