    Read through 5 pages and keep drifting back to this.

    I usually wear white socks but for awhile i wore hot pink socks!!! XD and some bright blue and green socks!
    And I bet you looked fantastic

    Sadly they were short socks....so you could barley see them...but my workout clothes are rather a red shirt w/ black shorts or a blue shirt w/ blue shorts ....so hot pink looked amazing XD ...actually the blue ones were the only ones that really blended hehe

    Ive worn black dress socks before because I forgot regular socks and that wasnt going to stop me. But never with shorts lol Normally I wear white ankle socks, but have been wanting black ankle socks to go with a pair of black and pink shoes. soooo cute!

    I'm no fashion expert but I can't think of a good reason to not wear black socks. As most of my clothes (including workout gear) is black or has black in it I wear ankle black socks almost exclusively.

    I really think we've narrowed it down to specifically tall black socks with shorts. Black ankle socks are perfectly acceptable, lol.

    Try as I may I cannot go to the gym and not look "good" ..By that I mean I have to match, everything right down to my hair tie HAS to go together..otherwise I just feel horrible and wind up focusing more on the idea that I don't match rather then working out..lol.

    oh hahahaha yeah those are funny to see.
    Are talking about the high top black socks one would wear with jeans?? Then hell no!! However I wear short black socks made by Under Armour and those are fine. And for the record, tall socks are NEVER a good idea unless wearing jeans or pant, no matter the color. Unless we are going for the nerd look.
    Yeah, I'm talking old man tall socks!

    Its ok if I am allowed to wear my knee high rainbow brite ones
    Yes!!!!! Now thats what Im talking about!

    Millerscd... I agree with you 100% but I hate to admit it but it's because we are of a certain age. Please don't be offended, I'm right there with ya but the "young'ins" seem to like this style.

    At my daughter's school I constantly see boy with black socks and shorts...it's the new style????

    Man I am all about black socks!! I pair them with leopard print spandex shorts and zebra print spandex tops!!!
    Nothing better in the whole wide world than to hit that gym floor looking like I walked out of Richard Simmons closet!
    lol Just kidding:-)

    I think I only own fluffy pink thermal socks - usually they are too big (midget feet, the only small bit of me) so that looks particularly attractive when I get home from Yoga, throw on my "crocs" and meander up to the barn to check feed lists, or plan the rest of the day, or do some clipping etc.... wouldn't you know that is ALWAYS when someone turns up unnanounced...... sigh.

    I have aspirations of being like the pink panther (cool calm always sophisticated) sadly I am cursed to be born a Tigger... with no sense of style!

    I've never even noticed anyone elses socks at the gym. I shall be more observant from now on!

    I have forgot my workout socks and all I had was black and instead of not working out or going sock-less; I went with the black ones.

    With that said I had on my Shaq pants to workout in so it was not black socks and shorts thank goodness :-)

    Black ankle socks all the way. They look best with my black Nikes. White would look silly!

    I didn't realise the gym was the place for fashion statements? Aren't we there to get sweaty? Who cares what colour socks people wear. You shouldn't be looking at other people anyway, focus on your own workout.

    Amen to that sista! Cuz wen I saw the forum title I was like i know that's not what I think it is" don't y'all have a job or something instead of talking about what color socks you wear!!!!! And you may be wondering why I bothered reading this.. its because I am at home on vacattion!!:P

  • I wear white only, unless of course I forget socks... then it's what ever I got on and I just pray they match!

    You are not alone in this.. believe me!

    I die if my clothes don't match properly.. Hell, I just bought plain black shoes for the fact that my pink ones and my purple ones didn't go with my green and blue tops!

    My mom thinks I'm nuts and is like you're just getting sweaty in these clothes.. why does it matter? I'm like because it does.. thats why!

    Reminds me of a guy I dated. He'd put on his (black) socks AND shoes before his pants. It was so weird.

    I like really low-cut socks. They make my legs look thinner.

    Sometimes I think people forget we're in the Chit-Chat, Fun, & Games section. They just see it online and take it seriously, lol

    if the person is wearing black shoes it's no big deal! if they're wearing white it's a little odd.
  • I don't care about the color. As long as they fit right and feel good while running miles at a time doesn't matter what I look like.
  • No, I see nothing wrong with it.

    A valuable peice of information missing from your OP.

    NO NO NO on high black socks w/ shorts for any reason unless you are a toddler --and that is even questionable. :)

    i wear black thigh high socks a few days per week...i don't hit the gym *yet* but would probably still wear them unless the workout was too sweaty ^.^y

    I think these can work with a cute workout outfit...maybe ^.^ they seem to work with everything which is basically why i wear them so often.
