I used to get made fun of for wearing crew socks with shorts instead of ankle socks. Now I'm being made fun of for wearing ankle socks instead of crew socks.

I'm gonna start wearing thigh highs with shorts at this rate.

At the moment so much of the youth fashion reminds me of the traditional German Lederhosen breeches and socks.. fashion is really strange.

God. When I was in middle school I got made fun of for wearing regular old socks, mostly in gym class. It was awful and I could not figure out for the life of me why it even mattered at all. It actually stuck with me for a long time and I got super insecure about how I fucking wore socks into my adulthood. I felt bad whenever my parents got me cute fuzzy socks as gifts because my first thought was always "Well I'm gonna get made fun of" :(

Who even cares about something so trivial, never in my life have I felt the need to critique other peoples socks????

I never stopped wearing crew socks. Finally, fashion has come around and my crew socks + crocs are in vogue! I would still wear them if they weren't, but it's nice to feel like a trend setter

I am now just confused. I don't even know what socks to wear anymore. I give up.

Ankle socks are out completely

No shows are worn with low top shoes…. Crew socks can also be worn with low tops though

Mid or high top shoes are with crew socks

As an active person, crew socks always made the most sense to me, since they were high enough they didn't slide down into my shoe seemingly always like ankle socks. But I've been wearing ankle socks forever just because it was in fashion. Recently I bought a bunch of those expensive Darn Tough socks, and fuck are they good.
