Footies. Exclusively.
For me, it is not so much as the length of the socks that matters but their colour.
However, I do not wish to be labelled as someone who favours one sock colour over others so I shan't share the one I prefer here.
I would never think of wearing other colours but I wish well to those who prefer them.
no socks for me.
I can't stand them.
I never wear socks unless it's in the dead of winter and I am leaving the house, then it's wool but I don't like socks.
I love socks and I own them in every length and every colour of the rainbow. And some colours nature never 'thought' of.
But I do prefer short socks.
I think it would depend on the shoes and choice of pants.
Always socks. Blue ones preferably, with shoes of all kinds including sandals. (I do have a stereotype as a typical British male to uphold). Preferably socks with sandals and shorts.
Tricky little blighters socks though. I can never get the right shades of blue together consistently. I might manage it with one or two pairs, but you can guarrantee that of the ones with the elasticated tops that are a darker, more Prussian blue, one will have snuck away under the edge of the bed or into the rolls of a towel whilst I try to decide which of the remaining single pairs I am going to put with the Prussian one. Once I've made my decision and balled them up and stuffed them into the invariably overstuffed drawer, (with everything including certificates and shaver chargers), then the other eloping Prussian will be caught on the border - or in the towel rather - and I will have to try to match it with another unsuitable colour variant of my favourite blue.
I lead an interesting life, though no-one tends to talk to me for more than seven and a half minutes. I've usually locked the door well before then though....
Omg when we first came to Oz my folks were still putting us in knee high socks and sandals when we went to the beach! Who the hell walks around in their bathers like that???? Only poms. I'm still scarred from the traumatic torment we suffered.....
:banghead:
I think Helga makes an important point. Wool, cotton...
The thickness of the socks is as important as their length.
Hey, anyone can make a poll to discern the sock knowledge they so desire. I was curious about length, not fabric or thickness.
Yeah, wool socks are probably my favorite. Cotton can be OK at first, but after a while they get to feel like they are just some caked-on layer on top of my skin (I mean even if they're completely dry, but it's of course worse if the get wet). They lose their "bounce". Wool has a reputation for being itchy, but I just like that they feel separate from me. Unfortunately, there's only like an average of 0-3 cold enough days a year here in Texas that I could possibly wear them comfortably.
I can tell you haven't experimented with many different types; otherwise, you would not be able to dismiss the importance of the fabric and thickness.Quote:

C'mon do a poll on underwear length and fabric next...
Like the ones below the ankle? That's a sexy sock, especially in any color other than white (prefer black). Unfortunately, we can't be exclusive. Not comfortable when wearing Chuck Taylors, prefer a long black sock.Quote:
