        White makes right when it comes to athletic socks. I think the original reason was the combination of sweat and the dyes of the time was not good. I see both at the gym. I have considered some black ones, but it would be a waste fo money trying to chase the hip look. The hip train left the station long ago.

          Black socks matter.

            All my socks are ankle socks, so the color doesn't matter as much, though I do mostly have white socks. I do like black socks if I'm wearing them around the house as they don't show the eventual "dirty" side from walking around as much as on white socks.

            @LuFins-Dad to answer you question, I wouldn't wear black socks above the ankle, nor white (to @Aqua-Letifer 's reply)

            @Mik Speaking of being hip. I was recently told by a high schooler here that everyone (all the cool kids at least) wear white socks, half-way up the calf, with the nike logo. They also said if you wear ankle socks (as I have always done, and always will do), it shows you are an old, un-cool person.

              ....the hip replacement train is the next scheduled arrival.

              It's a bit like a replacement bus service, but different.

                      As far as athletic socks go, white is supreme.

                                      Go to Target and get yourself a bag of “Hanes Men’s Lightweight Comfort Super Value Ankle Socks 20pk” — you can choose black or white.

                                      I don’t know if they are called “athletic socks,” but I have been using them for everything, including running/jogging outdoors and they work find doing athletic things.

                                      Good luck.
