Is it acceptable to wear visible socks with shorts and trainers?

[Orang Utan]

Well?
Seems a shame to hide a sock away by making it too short to see.

 

[butchersapron]

Not in public, no.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Hide it. Unless it's a statement sock ofc

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm gonna do it anyway I think. Found some pics online of it being pulled off to embolden me sufficiently enough for me to follow through

 

[Thimble Queen]

Don't follow through in your sock

Are you a US passport holder?

You've prob got some hideous hi-tec trainers too.

Nope

Nope, Adidas

Nope, Adidas

Short socks all the way to the wetherspoons then.

 

[Orang Utan]

I dunno

 

[Thimble Queen]

Nice socks. Shame about the shorts

 

[butchersapron]

Ooh no. No.

 

[marty21]

Yes


But I am 53 and don't care about such things

 

[Sue]

Oh Orang Utan .

 

[Orang Utan]

Nice socks. Shame about the shorts

It's hard to get decent shorts - they're either too sporty or to khaki-y

 

[DotCommunist]

I'd have said yes if it was short shorts

 

[gentlegreen]

Always. I do all summer.
Ditto sandals.
Just as long as they're grey.

Great. Now finish the look with a bright Hawaiian shirt and wacky glasses.

I wear Aldi work shorts these days - £7.99 - which reminds me I probably ought to start wearing them...

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

I think it would be better if the socks matched the trainers less.

Sometimes you have to ignore the garish brightness of them because of the cheapness and supreme comfort (you need to buy some contact adhesive to glue the soles back on later).

 

[Pickman's model]

That's a grand ensemble Orang Utan if you want people to despise you

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Ditch the shorts and put on a linen suit, like a proper Englishman in hot weather.

[TruXta]

Of course you can.

How hard is it to get some trainer socks?

I've got loads of them, I just don't want to wear them

The main problem is none of it's black enough.

Black shorts are horrible. Black clothes are not for me.
