Shoes that look better with age...

[Maynard Friedman]

I’m seeing lots of white socks these days with loafers, paraboots, etc. I like the footwear but in my opinion the socks ruin the look. How about some other colours or patterns - stripes, Argyle, etc?

White socks are arguably one of the aspects of the 80s that should be left behind permanently.

EDIT: unless you’re all wearing them ironically of course and then the joke is well and truly on me!

Each to their own man. The 80s didn’t invent white socks though. I can’t stand argyle socks 

[Maynard Friedman]

We all have our unique quirks and tastes, I just suppose white socks is the one that pushes my buttons! I wonder what Freud would say about that...

 ironically subtle ironic 

the white socks pic has beat all my posts. It’s like Larry Mize chip beating Greg Norman.

Well, to be fair, the white socks pic does actually include shoes that [will presumably] look better with age…

edit: Not that I haven’t been enjoying your posts, personally—I just haven’t really figured out how to interpret them

so you are saying my shoes look worse with age? 
Old ugly shoes always look good duh

I think the white socks help the shoes and jeans stand out more... so provided both are good, it works well... as above

All 80s imagery does need deleting from memory to appreciate them fully though

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I partly agree with Maynard. In the above picture a grey or coloured sock might look better with the loafers whereas white socks with grey sneakers and jeans work well  IMO.

Yeah, some 50s rockers wore white socks with black shoes and Jeans. Looked good. In the 80s heavy metalers wore skinny jeans with white socks and looked horrible. So theyr back...

^ hee hee!

[bartlebyyphonics]

there are ONLY white socks

[apart from thick wooly coloured things when frozen...]

Grey socks are for bank managers man. Y’all are trippin’. white socks and penny loafers  is a stone cold classic.

white socks for the win IMO, with loafers, gunboats, paraboots and a lot of other different shoes too.
still have to get some good quality ones but they're definitely on the list.

I have a pair of vintage weejun's I use for loafing about the house. My wife laughs every time I wear them. I think its unwarranted - but it happens none the less.

White socks is the way to go lads!

I always supported them.

Isolation driving us crazy.

I've often considered a pair of weejuns or loafers but the what sock question has always stopped me!

I always feel like an asshole walking around in clean new boots, but damn they're comfortable

[Broark]

Nice those look great, I had really considered getting a pair of those but decided against it for whatever reason.
