Also, they obviously weren't reading the two women's body language or they would have got out of there a lot sooner! Um, didn’t they notice any wedding rings.

I'm required to wear a uniform which consists of a checkerd shirt, and kahki shorts. Since my legs are hairy, and the shorts come to the top of my knees, longer socks would look funny.

I assume that your shorts are at least knee length. If so, I say go with ankle socks. Anything longer will make your legs look short and stumpy. It's not a good look. As for the fear of showing off too much leg, to be honest, I think longer socks actually draw more *attention* to your bare legs than anything. The exposed socks are sort of like a walking advertisement saying "look, this guy is not wearing long pants and so now we can see his socks". People who wear knee length or longer shorts with ankle socks or no socks simply look more normal. On the other ahnd, a person who wears crew or tube socks with shorts will *definitely* get noticed. The longer socks made more sense when shorts were shorter. Now that most shorts hit at least mid-knee or below, anything longer than ankle length socks will just look weird. How long are your shorts?

If you like white, tube socks (stripes or no stripes) and don't really care how you look, please continue wearing and loving them. If you would like to look your best, hairy legs and all. I would suggest you purchase one pair of ankle socks. Wear them, feel how comfortable they are (since you have less material covering your skin while you work out) and every now and then, glance in the mirror and realize your normally tube covered calves don't look as noticeable as they used to because you can actually see them man now, instead of just his socks. Wearing tube socks when you are making a fashion statement is one thing. Wearing tube socks because you have been wearing them for the past few decades shows your age and lack of progress in your wardrobe. Lastly, athletic socks should only be worn with athletic shoes. Athletic shoes should only be worn with athletic clothing. Denim jeans are not athletic clothing. As such, please wear darker socks with your jeans and hopefully a street sneaker (even the leather kind is nice) or a casual loafer. There is nothing masculine about pulling your athletic socks up to your calves or knees. Those are called "knee highs" and are traditionally worn by women (and men back in the 70's and 80's). All the Best, Lisa Dear Gentlemen,

Both tubes and smooth cotton ones without any ribbing. I wore them crew length, right up to the calf, or pulled them up just below the knee. I think they looked nice and gives you a grand look, especially it hides one's hairy legs. Yes I have the same feeling as well. I dont fancy low cut ankle socks. They really look girlish. I will give 2 thumbs up for wearing longer, or even above calf length, white socks. Rod Hi
