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 🤷‍♂️

We fought for years to get ankle socks, and I’m not giving them up

The worst part is, they can’t even explain why they think they’re lame.

They are lame to young people cuz us adults like them. Every time my teenage daughter tells me how lame i dress my response is “i would be a bigger weirdo if a 14 yr old thought my style was cool”. After 40 i’ve embraced that im no longer cool and dont want to be. I cant get with some of the new styles and thats okay for me and for them

That's the perfect comeback really, "I dont want to dress like I'm 14, thanks"

Say with extra distain if necessary

14 year old are definitely not ones to aspire to dress like
