White Ankle Socks as a Summer Trend

Dear users, dear authors,
Who among you would like to join in on the summer trend of white ankle socks with or without lace trim?

Haven’t we seen this before? With ballerina flats and a petticoat?
No, that’s not for me. I prefer to walk barefoot. Well, on the street I’ll wear shoes just to be safe, but not socks—no thanks.

Not really one to experiment with fashion?

I have no idea—but definitely not when it comes to so-called trends. My go-to look is jeans and T-shirts, but I’m all for keeping things quirky, colorful, and varied. But being so strictly “on-trend”—with all those rules about which colors are an absolute no-go right now—has never really been my thing.

One more thing just came to mind. I like to wear jeans with a slight flare, paired with sneakers or moccasins. When the trend started where jeans ended right at the ankle and you wore sneakers—leaving a bit of your ankle exposed—I thought that was pretty cute too, so I jumped on that bandwagon.

Well, you can’t always avoid every trend. :-)

Well, I won’t be jumping on this *sock trend* either—I only wear socks during the winter months, and even then, only ones I’ve knitted myself. The store-bought ones just cut into my skin and pinch around my ankles, so I don’t even have any left in my closet anyway. With some of these so-called trends, I often wonder what these designers are taking with their coffee every morning???🤣🤣😂

Best regards, Inge

Unfortunately, I have to wear socks in my shoes even in the summer because I have very sensitive feet and get blisters or pressure marks right away if I go barefoot in my shoes. So that at least my legs can breathe when it’s hot, I wear ankle socks or, even better, sneaker socks or footies that aren’t visible inside the shoe. (They don’t have to be white.)

For me, white ankle socks are always in style. Since I get blisters on my feet when I don’t wear socks, I prefer to wear them.

If it bothers you, just look away 

This week I saw a young woman wearing white sneakers, black leggings, and white tennis socks pulled up high.

Totally unwearable for me—even if I were 30 years younger.

No, that’s not a trend I’d want to follow—didn’t, don’t, and won’t.

Sneaker socks with shorts and sneakers—yes, that’s cute, but I’ve been wearing that for years already.
