Should I wear black or white socks with black athletic shoes?

 

[hXc_thugg]

Black, foo.

 

[Error Macro]

You wear black socks with dress and casual dress shoes. Not athletic shoes. White is required here.

 

[Desperado]

Listen to Error Macro

 

[Pochacco]

Black.

 

[hXc_thugg]

Oh, athletic. Error Macro is right.

if the socks are ankle socks (i.e. you're playing basketball) they can be white. but if you are playing with tube socks, make them black

 

[miyuru]

White! I never wear black socks when working out, etc..

 

[sc0la]

depends on skin tone really. If you are pasty white the black shoe should definately be buffered with a white sock as a black sock will make you look like a red headed cancer patient. This is assuming that you will be wearing shorts.

If you are latino/well tanned/medeterrainian/black then rock the black socks if you wish

Though really ankle socks are still the way to go.

Get some grey ankle-length socks and never worry about it again.

 

[Mupepe]

Black. 'Nuff said.

scola offers good advice but it there's no hard set rules for athletic shoes. Either that or i've seen too many violations to make any rules valid.

Gray socks will ease your mind.

But now my mind is baffled...grey or gray? Which is the better spelling?

i did not know there was such a thing as a black sock until the nice lady at nordstroms told me i would need to buy a pair

It depends on what you are wearing. If you are wearing dark clothes as well, you will look like a dick if you have white socks. If you are wearing lighter clothers, then and only then go the white.
