Title: Socks / no socks
Post by: nosey-p on July 07, 2010, 10:29:33 AM
I went to the pub last Saturday, sat outside in the sunshine, wearing a t-shirt, shorts white trainers and white ankle socks. When a guy came and sat at the next table wearing a t-shirt, shorts, sandals and white socks that went up to his knees. My first thought was he must be German but no he was a Yorkshiremen.

For the last four nights I have been laid awake wondering what the correct way to wear shorts and sandals/trainers/shoes with socks?

Should you wear socks with sandals?  
If you have white trainers can you get away with black socks?

Can someone tell me the correct equate please so I can get a good night's sleep

Sandals..... NO SOCKS!!!

Trainers with shorts - trainer liner socks.

Sandals..... definitely NO SOCKS!!!

^^ This.

Even with trainer socks, try and make them the same colour as the lining of the shoe. If there"s one thing we can learn from the world of football - and there is only one - it"s the thing about cycling shorts having to be the same colour as the shorts themselves.

Sleep well.

Even trainer liner socks are a bit gay !!! ;)
No socks with Sandals, Deck Shoes, and Trainers when casual.
When playing sport ankle socks are fine with trainers, white socks with white trainers!

Not saying they should or shouldn't, just asking the question

Depends on the type of sandal. Not thos ehorrible old leather type that you Dad wore, but the sporty type that are all over the place are fine.  :)

but you asked the question specifically about sandals, and  that infers that you do have a view one way or the other..... you didn"t ask the question about whether men should wear trainers or not, and that implies that this is obviously accepted.... therefore, your insinuation is that sandals should not be worn.

by the way - I"m in flip flops right now and socks are impossible.... but that bit between the toes does get so annoying sometimes.

A grown man should NEVER wear white socks socially.

No socks with sandels, obviously.

No white socks with any form of shoe that is not in the "trainers" family.

Went to see John Bishop last night, I'm there in trousers and shoes, the weather is a 10 force gale when a bloke walks in wearing what I call gay pants, too long for shorts but not long enough for trousers and FLIPFLOPS (no socks) looked like he just walk of the beach. Outside was like being in the Amazon in the rainy season

MEN DO NOT WEAR FLIPFLOPS

A few years ago Asda in Merthry Tydfil sold more pairs of white socks per year than any other Asda store in the country, Fact.

They still walk around Merthyr with their black shoes, black trousers and WHITE socks. So if you ever see any one dressed like that they"re probably from Merthyr.

You don"t wear socks with sandals!!!

flip flops are great

designer ones of course - not those plastic beach jobbies you get in a grock shop for £1

What has happened to the concept that you can wear what you like in these more liberated days? You will see some fairly weird get-ups at the WCOAP next month and you won"t comment on them, so why does everyone follow along one particular tenet that a guy shouldn"t keep his feet comfy by wearing socks if he likes? Pretty narrow-minded, I think.
