Black or White Socks

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

White socks!!

As far as what color socks, I'd check what is the custom in your area, but I've always worn black socks. Never realized people thought you looked like an old man wearing black socks...unless you're talking about the high socks in which case you'll look like an old man period regardless of color. I know when I was in high school not too long ago, none of us would be caught wearing white socks with black shoes unless the socks were low cut.

Same here. I always wear black socks and don't get the connection with old men unless you are talking about high dress type socks.

Those of us who grew up in the Fab Five days, at least the people I know and encounter, usually wear low cut black socks with black sneakers. Much better look IMO.
