Scathing Attack on White Socks

[HippieLee]

My personal general rule is:
Never wear white socks with any shoe dressier than sneakers.

My weekend attire is almost always jeans, tennis shoes and concert t-shirt. I always wear white socks - either long tube socks if I'm wearing my Chucks high-tops or those ankle socks if wearing my cross-trainers.

But at work I don't wear sneakers (except on casual friday) so I have always worn colored socks - usually dark blue or black although I do have a pair of bright blue and silver Dallas Cowboys socks I wear when I feel like sportin' my team. And Romo hasn't fumbled. I should probably get a pair of Garnet and Gold FSU socks too.

But none of that has much to do with how I will wear my kilt attire - my first kilt won't be here until November so I have time to read threads like this and plan my look. I like learning the "rules" and knowing why customs are customary so I'll know better if and when I should break the rules and/or disregard the custom. I trust you ladies and gentlemen to teach me in that regard WAY more than I trust some fashion website bloggy thing. :-)

Edit to add: I didn't mean to t give the impression I cross train - that's what the shoes are, not what I do with them. Unless by "cross-training" you mean holding a beer in each hand and alternating which one I drink from on each chug.
