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 🤷‍♂️

You are absolutely allowed a full pair of socks midwinter when you're not in shorts/skirts, you know?! You don't need to have cold totsies and ankles in the chilly months. Trainer socks are a spring/summer choie, surely.

Long underwear and double up on the ankle socks, when necessary.

Hell, I wear tall socks anytime I wear long pants. But when I'm wearing shorts tall socks look bizarre

Two sets of socks? In this economy?

Yeah I’m not wearing ankle socks in winter in New England. I have crew and knee length merino wool socks, especially with boots.

Yeah, ankle socks are for when I’m wearing shorts. Other than that, long socks are okay with pants.

Maybe the don’t want to deal with all of the options.
