      Let me guess, you are also wearing gym/athletic shoes along with your jeans and (likely) golf polo?

      The only reason to wear white athletic socks of any height with jeans is because you are either in junior high school, you repair computer hardware for a living, or you are Jerry Seinfeld.

        That brings up an interesting question. I have a pair of these (but different color). In the winter I will wear them with jeans. What kind of socks would you expect to be worn with these shoes and jeans?

          That is not an interesting question.

            Then I wonder why you keep commenting on the topic.

              Does that mean tube socks are back in for basketball? I can't keep up. I mostly only wear ankle socks, but I have a few pair of black tubes I sometimes wear.

                I think the transition happened about three years ago, but was definitely in full swing by last basketball season.

                  I'm 44, and I'm finding myself moving into that "wear what's comfortable" stage, instead of "wear what looks good".

                    That's what I meant. I guess they're called now show socks.

                      I was once told by one of my professors that I "have marathoner ankles". I did not know whether it was a compliment or an insult; i guess I still don't know. Also, I will not divulge whether the professor was male or female.

                        I didn't say the topic was uninteresting, only your question.

                          just don't wear socks.

                            I wear ankle socks every day with my linen shorts and my classic classy class A guayabera.

                              Just buy some smartwool gray socks. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter, casual enough for work yet dressy enough for church. I don't wear them with shorts but other than that it has solved my what socks to wear dilemma.

                                Whatever makes you comfortable. I prefer no socks during warm weather, but I also wear a lot of sandals and don't like to look silly.
