White socks over leggings

It's kind of ugly.
Personal preference of course (so let's not get too deep!), but it's everywhere right now and looks so awful that it turns me off buying any clothes paired with them. I can appreciate kids wearing them because younger people like to mess with convention but jesus they make even the longest legs look cut in half. Just no!

It’s a young person thing. I have no idea who can look at someone wearing it and think “That’s a great look / can’t wait to copy it.”

I would, but for the fear of looking like a tragic almost 50 year old trying to look like a youngster. I think it's a great look though, makes me think of 80s leg warmers.

It's not for me ...but I like my ankle out so I don't get too warm if I need to wear layers or a coat 🤣🤣

Lots of girls at secondary school do this over leggings and also over black tights.

Love them. So comfy, warmer, cold exposed ankles are no longer a thing. No more annoying trainer socks slipping off your feet inside your trainers. I have a couple of pairs of leggings that are slightly too short but that doesn't matter any more because the socks hide the length. This is one trend I hope stays for a long while!

This 👏🏻

Bring back leg warmers
