Depending on your geographic location you may refer to "Trainers" using some freaky local name such as sneakers, gutties, kicks - wotevah.

Runners... with low socks only...

Where’s the option for those newfangled ankle socks that strike a balance between both, so I’m not wearing full length socks, but I get to keep my Victorian modesty by covering my ankles

I have specific socks for wearing with shorts

Trainers without socks is a no as your trainers end up with that stale sweaty smell. Unpleasant.

@Beany is our resident fashion expert - I'll need to defer to him.

Still wrong. On every level.

Every level.

What about muddying the water ???

White Liners / Low Socks only when wearing shorts... unless you're on your Mountain Bike - then Black Mid Shin socks only (Unless you're Rich B and need the full Kevlar shin protectors...)

It's a minefield

You have to wear socks with shoes. The stench will be unbearable otherwise.

In a bitter twist of fashion, high socks with shorts are now cool, after the entirety of my adult life being spent avoiding visible sock. It's almost traumatic.

Aye, hence my current thing for buying nice socks that I only wear with shorts.

Fuck that shit. It has not, nor ever will be, cool. They just haven't realised yet. And when they do, those of us that have always avoided visible sock will be ahead of the curve

They’ll realise when they have t-shirt tan but on their legs

These very fashionable legs disagree

Twats who don’t wear socks most likely also pop their collars.

Dave!

I have a mate who is as sound as a pound but has an aversion to socks. Suit and brogues, no socks, trainers, no socks, jesus sandals, no socks, safety boots, no socks. No socks ever

That makes no sense. The entire shoe-wearing experience is awful without socks.

Trainers are for sports and children.

What dapper gents

Isn't @Rich B famous (here at least) for always wearing shorts? Could that be him on the left?
