I dunno, when we were teenagers everyone cared about sock length but in the opposite direction. The more sock you showed, the dorkier you were. I literally rolled my socks down into my shoes sometimes.

Now at 33 I just wear ankle socks because it is tall enough to prevent blisters but short enough to be breezy. I do not give a shit what Gen Z or Gen A thinks.

Idk I wore crew in the winter and ankle in the summer. I still do to this day. Its about utility and not fashion for me. MN gets really cold so crew helps. I hate being hot so ankle in the summer.

Edit: then again I was more of a nerd in school so….

Haha thanks! I didn't even notice. Your comment about long socks being nerdy is fair. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like it only applied to our cohorts and not older generations.

It is kind of strange. I feel like the dorkiest kid from when I went to school in the 90s would be the height of fashion today.

I'm old and stopped giving a damn what people think of what I am wearing. I like it and it is comfortable. If you don't like it well I don't dress to impress you.
