Status: offline 		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.

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!!!

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 ;)

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.

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.

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* wear white socks with black tennis shoes T.T every day... (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
