Yes, fashion, it does swing back and forth.
I remember when I was growing up, I used to cringe when my dad pulled out his high work socks, always dark-colored, with his shorts.
Teen-aged me would only wear my white, gym-class-style socks with any or all type of shorts. (Cut-off jeans were in then, by the way. My mother preferred me to wear the Bermuda-style, store-bought, of course, but I’d take the scissors to my grown-too-tall-for jeans myself.)
Nowadays, I notice, younger people are wearing dark, high socks with their shorts.
White socks only with shorts.
Not me.
Although I have cut down to ankle-length instead of higher, I still will only wear white socks with shorts.
I am now the old man who earns the cringe, I suppose.
Sometimes I skip socks entirely, especially when I wear shorts. Try it sometime. Your feet will thank you!

I went through a no-socks period in college, NEN, but, oh, the aroma was a footwear-killer. Not to mention roommate-irritator.

My dad always wore white socks with black shoes and dress pants. 🤓. I think he did it on purpose to raise eyebrows.
And you look quite fashionable.

I’m not a man, but I do wear white socks with my sneakers – which is most of the time, these days, because of age-related foot pain. Not fashionable, but certainly comfortable. At my age, it’s all about comfort.

Comfort certainly is an added benefit at every age, CM. And I’m up there with you anyway.

For years, I only wore white socks with shorts. But now when I come home from work and change into shorts, I’m sometimes too lazy to switch socks. I guess I’m transitioning into the old man who doesn’t care what you think.

It is an effort to make that after-work switch, I do admit, Scott.

They are very comfortable, Tom. And easy to match out of the dryer.

I avoid socks unless my feet are really, really cold. I don’t mind your short socks, but then, I’m no young’un! I have this great idea that we all could just wear what we like and be comfortable 🙂
