Socks for teenage boys!

DS(13) cannot tell me what the others wear, as he is completely oblivious and to be fair, most are still in trousers.

If yours are wearing shorts, do they wear ankle socks or trainer socks?

Don’t go for black, the fashion is white ones.

Absolutely.

Unless the black ones are somehow special. If you pay £40 for some ridiculous collaboration sock, it’s ok for them to be not white.

but if the logo on the sock is not impressive enough to overcome not being white, they need to be white. 🤣

Another vote for white ankle socks (and yes you do need to pretty much boil wash them!) My DS has a mix of adidas ones, the ones you get in a big multipack from sports direct, and some Primark versions. He also likes novelty socks.

Any Mums of white sock wearers - Soak the socks overnight in a bucket of Napisan, works wonders!!

Interested in this thread?

Ankle sport socks pulled up to show off brand.

This all the way.

If in doubt Nike.

My teens fight over the cushioned under armour socks (I refuse to buy white on washing grounds).

Nike ankle socks here too

cptartapp · 04/04/2023 18:55

White Nike socks. Nothing else.

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 04/04/2023 20:32

Yes to white Nike sports socks! I can’t open the link but I can’t imagine a teenager wearing any sandals except slides or crocs.

Mum to 2 teenage boys here and it's a yes to white Nike socks and sliders.

My DS13 wears ankle socks because he prefers them to trainer socks although I don’t think it matters much - just make sure he is comfortable with them. :)
