Random NonClicky Poll Do you wear socks w/prints

[flatlan]

Do you wear socks that have prints on them like argyle, polka dots, holiday theme, etc?

I wear printed socks under my jeans all the time. They just make me happy! I wear plain black or brown socks under dress pants.

[hopenotlost]

I love them! Target has them for like $1 each. I have like a dozen fun prints. I do have the standard black socks and white socks, but the ones that I wear most often are the prints.

[ijack]

I rarely wear socks. I don't own any with a print.

[KaraOrNot]

Most of my socks have a print (stripes, polka dots, or argyle). They are fun and nobody but me sees them. I do say no to holiday prints.

[EmilieMadison]

Yes, I have lots of socks with stripes, patterns, dots, etc. I do not have "themed" socks (holidays, animals, etc)

[Awkward]

I love fun socks!

Slightly entertaining story. I was completely silent in high school and never ever talked to other students in my class unless absolutely necessary. In sophomore english class we were each assigned someone in the class to write a 1 page detailed description of them, starting with an anecdote.

The anecdote about me was about how the girl writing it asked around to see if anyone knew anything about me, and all anyone could come up with was "she wears really colorful socks."

I've thrown most of them away now because they wore out or lost their mates, but I still have a handful of brightly colored, holiday themed, and animal adorned socks.

Argyle and stripes, yes. Under boots all the time.

I have an obsession with socks. When I wear pants long enough to cover them (like jeans) I wear fun ones. I wear grey/black trouser socks w/ my work pants though.

[steph96]

I do, but they are only worn when I work out. They are low cut, so you can't really even see the prints.

There was a girl around my age in the parking lot the other day. She had on professional clothes and actually looked halfway nice....then I looked at her feet. She was wearing pants that were about 3-4 inches too short. She had on one neon striped sock and then one sock that had little multicolored stars all over. They didn't even match.

Sometimes. When I was a kid (like middle school aged), I had brightly colored solid socks that I loved. When they started to wear out, I started looking for replacements. Had a hard time finding replacements, but my mom found me socks with patterns instead. Didn't love the patterns, but I needed something on my feet, so I wore them. People noticed, and started giving me patterned socks. Though high school and college, even well into my 20s. Being the MM person I am, I preferentially will wear free socks over purchasing socks, which really perpetuated the problem. I've honestly never cared for the patterned socks, but have worn them a lot. Anyway, I've finally started to find and buy bright solid socks, so the patterned sock gifts have finally started to slow down.

Yep. I love them!

[countthestars]

No. Socks with prints are usually too thin. I only wear white athletic socks

[luvmagoldn]

Only with my Sanita clogs. If I am wearing flats in the winter I wear trouser socks. In the summer - nada.

[RoxMonster]

I wear patterned socks when I wear them. I'm not a huge socks fan and prefer wearing heels or dress shoes without them, but when I have to wear socks because it's cold out or I'm wearing boots, I go with fun colors and patterns.

Yup. I have exactly two pairs of socks. They are for soccer.

What about running?

[agnes]

I rarely wear socks now. But all the socks I own have some sort of print or colored.

[Norticprincess]

Under boots and with jeans

[agnes]

Oh and my mother gives me Xmas socks every year in my stocking. One year I didn't get a pair and I was very disappointed.

[ladygrey]

I have a few fun pairs, but DH is the surprising sock whore in our house. He loves his argyles!

[biogirl21]

I have a bunch of the cheap low cut printed socks from Target. I like to wear them to work to brighten up my "uniform". I wear flats every day that you can usually see a bit of sock with.

[Pilsy]

I rarely wear socks; my ankles and calves seem to stretch them out. I wear white socks that barely touch my ankles when I run.

However, I adore fun socks on other people and have been known to put them in care packages and as add-ons for gifts.

[Deleted]

I have a couple of pair. And a couple of pair of textured trouser socks.

[aspentosh]

I wear patterned socks 99% of the time. I love the ones from Target!

[takeonyou]

Yes! I work from home with kids, so my socks are usually a topic of discussion, lol.

[Deleted]

I only wear socks with running shoes (always white) or boots (also usually white -- no-one is going to see them anyway). I do have some pairs that are dark or patterned (argyle) but they do not make me any happier than white socks.

ETA: What shoes are you guys wearing with socks that they're visible to others?

[treedimensional]

No. Not that I don't like them; I'd probably buy them if I thought they would FIT and perform well. But that only applies to conservative, classic patterns, NOT holiday themed. My MIL has bought me Halloween socks and Christmas socks and they go stright into the trash.

[lys]

I have a collection of Smartwool socks that have various prints & stripes. I do not do holiday or special event socks, however.

[liveintheville]

Always. I do not own any solid colored socks. I especially love the target holiday socks.

[gibbinator]

Sometimes. Most of my socks are just solid sports socks because I like the thickness. But I do own and wear more fun socks, usually summer time

[Deleted]

At home I do. I don't have any holiday theme ones.
