It's a fashion among the young peoples. We have to get over it. Remember when the country lads would go on a night out with just a shirt outside their pants in the middle of winter. Remember when the city lads had leather jackets over a sparkling white T-shirt. Recall and it's still going when the ladies had paperthin figure hugging dresses with 4 inch heels, again in the winter.
I'd imagine one's ankles would get cold. What I love to see is ladies ankles with the fake tan sploged on and not quite going down enough so I can say to myself 'jasus...slave to trends' whilst being slightly intrigued depending on how shapely said ankles are.

exactly, its fashion now, it beats bootcut pepe jeans and fake timbalands

I'd take a fella with bootcut jeans and a check shirt any day over a fella in skinny jeans and a V neck top showing off his cleavage(?!).

Skinny jeans for men are a form of contraception as they are not good for the testicles...

One in ten men have experienced an unpleasant side-effect as a result of wearing skinny jeans. Surveying 2000 men, they found that of those suffering from wearing the jeans, half had experienced groin discomfort and over a quarter had bladder troubles. One in five had suffered a twisted testicle.

Nice...

Not surprising, surely they would be affecting the temperature of your stones too.

Skinny jeans for men really aren't the scourge on society people think they are. As a previous poster said if every shop was stocking them and not any "normal" jeans they're what people want. I say this as a skinny jeans wearer so I may be slightly biased :P

There's a difference between a pair or skinny/slim fighting Jean's and a pair that's to short/doesn't fit you.

I've no real problem with ankle socks especially with shorts, looks so much better.

A lot of men wear ankle socks with a cuffed leg and it's not really for me but fair enough.

TBH I'm just glad that god awful phase of wearing pink/salmon shirts has passed; always looked terrible.

Boot cut jeans are an abomination.

Don't be getting too generous now, nice tapered leg is the one you want.

There has always been some optional element of male trends that was fashionably feminine e.g. laceup boots of the 70s, earrings in the 80s, mushroom Madchester haircuts of the 90s (vagina heads), skinny jeans nowadays.

But it was always a minority element who took up on it.

Deffo. Just trying to be like their cooler cousin, flares.

They are handy if you wear boots though.

Boom_Bap · 25-02-2019 05:08PM

Wear what you want to wear. If it's ankle socks, go for it. If it's ball huggers, go for it, if it's boot cuts, go for it. Just Do It.

I wear bootcut jeans and I'm a girl

I do not have the legs for tapered jeans/skinny jeans/leggings. I look awful, like a stumpy thing. Flares look best on me but are difficult to find, as are bootcut these days.

Gwynplaine · 25-02-2019 05:13PM

Bootcut jeans, a pair of Dubes, and Leinster jersey.

Floppybits · 25-02-2019 05:43PM

I had the same issues with skinny jeans but now I like the skinny jeans. The fabric used is no denim but a softer more stretchable fabric but man are they comfortable. The ones I have do cover your ankles. I remember lads going to the grove in the early 90's with these skin tight jeans on and docks. I always wondered how they got into them jeans.

con___manx1 · 25-02-2019 05:54PM

I lived in a country with a hot climate. I wore ankle socks every day. In ireland i never wear them.

El_Duderino 09 · 25-02-2019 06:31PM

People don't like the fashion young wans are wearing nowadays. Who'da thunkit?

Infonovice · 25-02-2019 06:52PM

I wear ankle socks/footsies every day with skinny jeans or leggings.

seen a lady two days ago with skinny jeans, grey socks and a pair of runners on. she looked like a toddler. white socks would have been worse

Is this thread the peak of AH disgruntlement at millennial habits? Ankle socks, really?

I'm off to start a retaliatory thread about Dad jeans, or sandals with socks.

Tuco88 · 25-02-2019 07:33PM

Well I like skinny/slim jeans. I find them well fitting and comfortable for my size/frame. Its a nice medium from a cotton pants to a pair of jeans.

And above all, I Really couldn't care what others think. Doc martens,wooly socks, blue jeans, sleeveless vest, trench coat.

Job done.

Your cock looks bigger in an ankle sock.

To be fair ankle socks is a lot better than no socks

freshpopcorn · 25-02-2019 08:28PM

The thing about ankle socks is they are okay in some situations and not in others.
There better with shorts for example and some people can pull them off with a cuffed tracksuit.
Even if you wore a very modern type trousers with the right type of shoes. You might be able to pull off the look.(It wouldn't be for everybody tough).
They don't work with a traditional suit/shoes or with safety shoes/boots for example.
It's a little like wearing a tracksuit bottoms with a pair of dress shoes.

Or vice versa, runners with your work suit for the walk home.

If you can fit a pair of runners in your backpack, for God's sake people, pack a change of clothes. You look like some lad showing up in court for a charge of possession with intent to supply.

A sock not requiring a sock garter is not a sock.

Ankle socks ? Newborn babies maybe. For anyone else, no.

Personally I don't really care about either situation.
However I think if your making and effort/consider yourself to be into clothes. You should be able to know when you can pull off the look.

Nah, that's nowhere near the same

AllForIt · 26-02-2019 12:57AM

As some have said I'm sure, if your talking about 'the look' then no socks is far worse than ankle socks.

Personally I'm allergic to the elastic on long socks. Come out in hives type spots and an excruciation itch around the elastic part and for some reason I've never been able to figure out I don't suffer this wearing ankle socks.

thebaz · 26-02-2019 01:52AM

ankle socks all the way - mind you I wear shorts nearly all year (for the fashion police

I find jeans and regular socks uncomfortable now
