Gen Z and their socks

[PollyCreo]

What is it with this fashion? Pulled up white socks!

A statement sock 😂 I love it!

I have a hard and fast rule that I'll never wear anything that will be ridiculed in years to come (my 90s purple unitard is the exception, I rocked that look in the 'popmobility' classes)

Im currently wearing my white socks to the gym , pulled up but not overpulled l’m 55 btw

What's with the scorn for trainer socks? Not necessarily on this thread but I see it about and I don't get it? I don't mean not finding them comfortable, that I get, but as if they're some kind of absolute fashion disaster? I think trainers look much nicer with a bit of ankle rather than a 90s American tourist pulled up sock.. the fact that EVERYONE in the gym has slowly but surely moved onto these socks makes me want to resist too of course

I wore these and thought I was like John McEnroe ..

I wear trainer socks in my trainers 🥰

I also have three pairs of trainers....😌

You cannot be serious?

Well I’m gen x and have always worn my socks like this. For the last 30 years people have been looking aghast at my sock covered ankles. Now I’m suddenly trendy but people probably think I’m copying the young ones! 😀

There are worse trends.

I give you 'being a dickhead's cool', an excellent summary of all the terrible fashions from 2010. Including loafers with no socks. Surely any socks are an improvement??

It’s the changing of terminology I don’t understand. So to me ankle socks are normal socks, they cover the ankles. Trainer socks are the ones which aren’t visible/barely visible when wearing trainers.

but gen z seem to call trainer socks ankle socks. I think they call ankle socks crew socks 🤷‍♀️

To be fair I'm still wearing skinny jeans so I'm a lost cause to fashion!

Your trainer socks are already being ridiculed though...

Today I saw a group of teenage girls with sensible trainers, socks pulled up, knee length shorts and baggy t shirts. They looked so comfortable - it was glorious, long may this trend continue!

That's a lovely fashion tbh. My colleague has a young daughter and she's wearing baggy jeans ✅

Oh I do love "Adam Sandler aesthetic" as I've seen it called 😆

love those, wore them as a teenager when everyone was going through the pop punk/skater look in the 00s

Prefer the pulled up sock look or the scrunched up sock look ankle socks are ok for certain trainers and outfit looks but in truth I hate them they always end up slipping off my feet and then I have to take my trainers off to pull them back over my feet I also find that if you do find tight fitting ankle socks they make my ankle look puffy like I have no ankle just a fat stump that my foot is attached too 😂😂.. I’m a Millennial.

Sorry I’m referring to trainer socks is what I had not ankle socks that come up over the ankle those I don’t mind it’s trainer socks I hate 😂

Awaits the return of slouch socks.

I've just bought some from Under Armour!

@PollyCreo the scrunch bum leggings are obscene

I do a pulled up sock. Trainer socks were the bane of my life for running, they’d always roll down and I’d have heel blisters or toes sticking out of the little elastic court shoe socks I used to buy, they were a nightmare. I’m old enough to enjoy a bit of comfort instead now!

There's no need for them. We all go to the gym to work out, no one wants to see arse cheeks or bollocks on show.

Me too and technically I am a boomer!

Why is it that the socks have to be over the leggings though? My DD just eye rolled me for untucking my socks from my leggings.
Why is over apparently the height of fashion and under is 🙄
