Status: offline 		I always try to wear socks that match my shirt. Today, someone told me I'm behind the times. According to what I was told, everyone wears white socks with everything. Wearing colored socks that match a shirt is something people did in the 80's. Socks of any color other than white are uncool. I disagree. For example, I think wearing white socks with a black and blue outfit would clash and would probably wear matching blue socks with a pair of black shoes. Who is right?

I wear them for comfort only... however if I am wearing a dark outfit with my black sneakers I tend to wear black or dark socks just because I think they stand out a lot... but its all a matter of personal preference... I used to wear nothing but funky multi colored socks and still do on occasion if I have the opportunity to... My favorite are my rainbow striped knee highs!!!! But if I were you, and I liked matching my socks to my shirt, I would keep doing it... Then again, I dont often give a rats behind what other people think about me....  If it makes you happy... DO IT!

Status: offline 		I don't own a single pair of white socks. I agree, though, that socks are just as much a part of an outfit as the top or accessories are. Usually I don't give a damn whether I'm wearing socks that even match, but when I do, they always somehow match my outfit.

On a side note, I never understood the whole "no socks/stockings with open toed shoes" rule.

I'd wear 2 different color socks.. each on right and left
            2 different  color fake crocs .. each in opposition to the color of the socks
a multi colored t-shirt and striped capri's.
 
I am right !

Maybe she needed to reassure herself?
Self confidence issues?
Maybe she forgot she posted almost the same fashion phopa question 4 months ago?
Maybe someone needs to get her on WHAT NOT TO WEAR?"

If pants are the correct length, you'd not see the white socks anyway.

And sweety, ask any advice you want.  it is kind of fun.


This time of year- many wear sandals-  but that can be a turn off- in that the summer heat- well- when having food- who wants to look at bare feet?  (in 100 degree weather)

I wear hose with my open toe shoes.  I don't wear the "reinforced toe" style.  I'd get a blister on my heel if i didn't.  Now sandals, no, hosiery isn't needed, but then I don't wear sandals at work.

OP, wear what makes you happy.  I wish the men's sock garters would make a full fledged comeback.

Status: offline 		Anytime I wear sneakers, I wear white socks.  If I'm wearing some type of closed shoe, sometimes I match the socks to my pants, but more often than not, I wear nylon peds or nylon knee highs which eliminates the issue entirely.
