    The Laws of Men’s Socks: How to Avoid Criminally Unattractive Looks

    Ankle socks shall not be worn. Socks that end at the ankle bone—or just below—have ignited debate between millennials (who’ve worn them for years) and Gen Zers (who despise them). They “look a bit dated,” said Carla de Maria, 35, a UX designer in London, who prefers crew socks on guys. Rory Millar, 30, a marketing executive in London, finds ankle socks ruin the look of dressier shoes as they’re so jarringly casual, while Louis Kassam, 36, a Brooklyn photographer, said it’s “unforgivable” to wear them with tailored pants—bare ankles in a boardroom is a no.

    Novelty socks shall be shunned. These are “like playing with fire,” said Alex Miller, 30, a law student in Milwaukee, Wis.

    I stopped there. He’s still a student at 30 and he’s telling me what to do? Novelty socks it is then.

    @Doctor-Phibes @George-K I’ve known several people in their late 20s or early 30s decide that they weren’t happy with whatever they were doing, go back to school and get their law degree.

    Edit, my wife corrected me, Andy is now a Law Clerk to a VA Supreme Court Justice.

      At age 31 I was running the schedule of a 29-suite operating room.

      Yeah, but were you still a student at that time?

      No.

            Would you consider them particularly knowledgeable about socks?

            In fact, now that I think about it being knowledgeable about socks should immediately disqualify somebody from being worth listening to, with the possible exception of a professional sock maker.

            I was only joking

              Full disclaimer: I wear novelty socks occasionally. My kids give them to me as a joke, so I wear them.

              I particularly enjoy wearing them when I have to meet with some corporate knobhead and pretend I care what he thinks. I also have some Marvel underpants for these occasions.

                  Also, getting a law degree late in life is like running away from the circus to join a bank.

                    Getting it at 30 is late in life?
