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!

I’m a fan, bare ankles are a no no.
I feel rather sporty in my white socks pulled up over my leggings.

I’m 40 next year, do you know what one of the (many) great things about getting older is? I no longer care what others think about me, this extends to fashion. It’s a lovely feeling!

Very happy with this trend. It’s comfy and it makes my 36 inch legs look a bit shorter which is welcome. Also means I can wear my leggings that are a bit short in the leg because the sock covers the gap

Black leggings = black socks. I can’t stand the adanola ‘sports’ look. I think it looks so cheap & tacky!!

@Comff Bitter and jealous of crocs? No, I'm good, thanks.

I think she is referring to the mum not the crocs, definately bitter towards her 🤷

I'm nearly 40 and wear my socks over leggings, couldn't care less what anyone thinks it's warm and comfortable!

It's the fashion but why start a thread criticising something that will probably be read by people who wear them. Ugly?

But, as long as you get to post in an attempt to find your little tribe.

You know you’re even more bitchy and controlling, right?

That was well worth resurrecting an almost 5 month old thread for. I'm sure there are more recent ones you can start a fight on?
