    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.

    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.

    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!

    No to the black knee socks... hmmm wait... no to knee socks of any color...

    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
    Really??? Which part of fun are people missing. This isnt meant to be serious

    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.

    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.

    This reminds me of my question about wearing jeans at the gym. If that's what I am comfortable working out in, what difference does it make? To the original poster's point, I would probably never wear black "dress" socks with shorts at the gym but again, if that's what someone is comfortable with...

    Black socks, they never get dirty, the longer you wear them the stronger they get.
    Sometimes I think I should wash them but something inside me keeps saying
    Not yet....not yet.

    MY thoughts exactly. I think people are allowed to get their sweat on in whatever they want.
