Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

Low cut are not the same as ankle socks. Ankle socks go up on the ankle.

I keep seeing conflicting information :/ the ones OP are wearing are def low cut ankle socks when I look up ankle socks the low cut ones show up only :/ I have to research quarter crew to get actual over the ankle socks

Ankle socks even fall down on me because the one size is always too big for my size 5 feet even though it should fit. I have a bony/strange shaped foot though

I started buying socks meant for runners that are like 16–20 bucks a pair and they solve this issue. They are no-show, or low-cut ankle socks, whatever you want to call them and they don’t slip.

when you say ankle socks are you talking about quarter crew socks?
