So, talking in one of my classes about visiting and visitors and differences and all that of other cultures, one girl mentioned how white socks and sneakers being an american thing. If you (well me and a couple others, really) were walking down the street over by most of you and we had on some plain white sports socks, you would know/assume we were american.

White socks used to considered a gay thing here in the UK, but I think that's almost disapeared. White socks with shoes is a big :no: though.
A lot of pople will buy training socks or tuck over normal socks when they're wearing shorts so it looks like they're no wearing any at all. I'm one of them cos I think socks look shite when you wearing shorts, but if I don't wear socks at all my feet stink.
Wouldn't really see it as american tbh.
it's just not done. (unless you're actually doing something sporting)
So what do you wear for foot covers then?
Though surely you must at least wear them to work out?
I'm all intrigued now.
I think any socks are allowed if you're working out, but others have no excuse hehe.
black,grey,dark blue,etc but not white socks.
I think they just do it because socks stop your feet from being manky and sweaty and when they are on holiday its too warm to wear trousers, and as they are generally of a more mature age they aren't really bothered about being cool/not looking "gay" or whatever. =]
If I'm wearing trousers I wear any type of sock cos you can't see them.
I don't own any white socks though.
With shorts i either dont bother wearing any socks or i'll just wear trainer socks that you cant see (outside the shoe)
