Socks no socks

I suspect you know the answer Teetime

I think it's just the ultimate answer to 'what do you do when you can't find a matching pair?'!

He may have had those footlet socks on that you can't see..though ankles would still be chilly!

I thought ‘tights’

I think this a trend with young men, I can’t imagine it’s comfortable. If you see pictures of so called ‘celebrities’ they often are without socks at weddings and ‘do’s’.

Yes it’s a fashion thing, Teetime. I’ve seen sockless models in magazines.

My sons are 37 and 34, so still young - but they never go out without socks. What was that man thinking anyway - a blue suit with brown loafers? They don't even match!

It must be a trend as I've noticed a couple of men who'd appeared on BBC news not wearing socks. I think it looks awful. It's as bad as those you see who are still wearing shorts-----in this weather ! What are they all trying to prove ?

I've not noticed a no sock trend but will be looking out for it now. Sounds very uncomfortable

Yes. It's a fashion trend, like the Hipster Beards, that you see all over the place.

My brother who is 61 often goes sickness but he thinks he's still young and trendy!!

Bloody phone - sockless!

I haven’t noticed this trend, but remember Don Johnson started a sockless rage ( he also lived on a boat and kept a pet alligator....)
I have been sockless since the Summer and have lived in Skechers which are warm anyway.
If dressed up, men look better with socks.

I quite like the sockless look.
I never wear them myself.

George and Larry Lamb are the only men that I've seen sockless and I quite like it on them . However if I try it , the inner soles of my shoes always get pulled out when I take the shoes off !

Yes its a fashion trend with young men(and not so young who think they are trendy)
Worse is when their trousers seem to have had an argument with their ankles.

Nothing new here in Southend. Must have been around for a couple of years. I love the look.

He wouldn't have been cold, no socks means your feet sweat and slip around inside your shoes even if you never normally have sweaty feet. it's a trend like all things it will pass.

It is the fashion. I have noticed it for several years.

But it is a question of appropriate dress for an occasion. If you are young and a celebrity, it may be part of your image when at A list parties or on tv. At a formal Golf Club dinner it is utterly inappropriate. But if he is the kind of man who wears brown shoes with a blue suit, let alone at a formal event, he is already past hoping for.

My sister (Essex girl says its a 'thing' her 19 year old son does it. But really a blue suit and brown loafers!!!

The blue suit and brown shoes is also a thing, I was mocking my son for buying brown shoes to go with a blue suit to his mates wedding and the general consensus of opinion was that he was correct and several friends had done the same. I still thought black shoes would be preferable but hey we're old rents who know nothing lol.

" No brown in town" was the snobby etiquette cry to imply brown shoes were incompatible with formal work suits. But that was a while back.. things change..women even wear trousers now and go to town without hats & gloves ?

Its a very casual look, (even though its well thought out)
Matching would spoil it.
The brown shoes are the natural kind of colour.

We went to a wedding recently and the male members of the wedding party wore blue suits, brown loafers and the young men had no socks on.
