Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Do you mean he pulls them up? It's slightly better than the socks and sandals thing but not much. Has he got good legs? If so try to persaude him they would look better if more exposed

Don't do it Mrmisdee!Get yourself some trainer socks.

Trainer socks are fine!

OverMyDeadBody · 04/07/2008 16:36

trainer socks are better than long socks!

Does he have to wear shorts though? I always think they are best left to the beach on men.

his legs or the shorts?

OP posts:
OverMyDeadBody · 04/07/2008 16:42

what kind fo trainers though? that makes a difference.

And what kind of shorts? Not those ridiculously bright hawaiian style things?

Could you persuade him to team them with sandals or birkies instead?

Get him some trainer socks and he'll look fine.

liek these

he really doesnt have a clue. he tried loads of different shoes/trainers on recently, and he asked me what to look at. i said Vans, converse etc, he said 'never hjeard of them'

he is just 29, so not exactloy old lol. i think being in hospital for years has wiped his memory a bit.
