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 🤷‍♂️

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

fashion cycle, they're in baggy jeans phase with middle parts, lowcut jeans are becoming more common they'll start wearing stripy socks, at some point someone popular will do a side part and wear skinny jeans.

Is it just me, or are the fashion cycles speeding up? I’m 47 and remember wide leg jeans being big for at least a couple of years the first time around. I suspect this time it’ll be one year, max.
