I HATE WHITE SOCKS. Black socks are so much better.

At least none of them have socked feet crammed into flip-flops...

At least, if you're going to do that...wear flip-flop socks.

(and yes, they're available in black)

White socks are only acceptable with sports clothing. Otherwise what sort of freak wears them at all?

 

[Fritzo]

I was thinking this today. It really wouldn't be all that expensive to wear a brand new pair every day.

Jerry Lewis is famous for doing this.

They rarely ever look good with any pair of shoes.

Do you mean white dress socks or tube socks? Black gray or beige dress socks, even some greens and dark blues look ok with shoes, but I don't think I've ever seen white dress socks.

I've never worn white tube socks with shoes, it's retarded looking. With any color sneakers, they look fine though IMO.

[edit] oh, nvm, you were actually talking about tube socks with shoes lol.

I'm not talking about dress socks

Lol white dress socks

They might not work for you with your gay little elf booties...but they work for some people. I know lots of folks who prefer un-dyed socks.

The dyes in black socks make my feet itch.. screw em they suck

They look pretty bad almost all the time IMHO. Socks are a good way to add some color to your outfit. Target makes some nice dress socks under their Merona brand that are cheap and look good. Usually wear white socks when I hit the gym though because they're cheaper. No show kind. Would probably be better to get some wicking socks. For snowboarding I use wool or boarding socks. You could also get socks that a thermal properties to them. The white cotton socks get kind of cold once your feet start sweating.

Oh you mean my awesome shoes. I'm wearing them right now! They are currently the most worn shoes out of all of my casual shoes.

Super awesome.

I have a set of black socks made just like white socks. They exist, you just have to look

Even better, they are made here in the USA, not india or something. And get this, I bought them at walmart!

Yeah I bought a 9-pack of black Hanes socks for about $12 the other day. They're exactly like white socks except black. So they're comfortable, warmer than typical black socks, and look a whole lot better. I wouldn't wear them with a suit but I have a couple of "nice" pairs for that.

I have reached sock nirvana thanks to this purchase. I now have:

- A few pairs of ankle height white athletic socks
- A few pairs of warm, thick wool socks for wearing around the house in winter
- A bunch of pairs of black crew socks for wearing to work
- A couple pairs of fancy black socks for more formal occasions
