What’s the deal with socks now?

[DC555]

I’m your standard mid 30s millennial. I wouldn’t consider myself ‘fashionable’ but I like clothes and enjoy looking well put together in any given situation.

As spring arrives, we’re about to hit the yearly moment when I move from boots worn with everything, to white trainers worn with everything - usually fairly plain, slim, low rise lace ups.

I’ve finally got my head around jeans (I still love my skinnies but am embracing wide leg, barrel and boyfriend) but I’ve heard trainer socks are now the height of uncool??

So what DOES look acceptable when your trousers/dress leave your ankle exposed?

I am tall with big feet so things that look cute on dainty feet make me look like a clown, so I fear the wrong socks will add to this issue.

Photos and links of acceptable socks greatly appreciated!

I don't wear trousers or jeans.

They can pry my trainer socks from my cold dead feet!

I'm loving the sound of your sock choices! I choose my socks to go with my outfit too.

I’ve found my people!

I bought some bright red socks to go with my new pink and red trainers yesterday, off the back of this thread! Will wear them with long jeans, so they'll only show when I sit down. But they look so much better than my boring black ones.

Still can't get my head around long socks with shoes and shorts mind.
