“If you are wearing low-cut socks, it means you are 30-plus.” How sock height has become the latest style skirmish. 🧦 https://on.wsj.com/3VTzASF
Glad to see this major publication focusing on the important issues.

Wore ankle right when I got a real job. No guys care about this.
It really doesn't mean anything. I don't live my life worrying about what teenagers think about me and my socks. Besides, I have so many styles of socks, anyone trying to categorize me based on that is signing up for disappointing, thankless work
The blatant misinformation online is getting out of control. If you are wearing low-cut socks, it has absolutely nothing to do with your age. It's a fashion choice that is non-generational. I have a cousin who is a major fashion designer. That photo is definitely not today's current fashion.
Who comes up with this?

Guilty as charged.
No one is nearly as cool as they think until they are wearing the white socks with three colored stripes at the top. Then, they may be cool. 🤣
Fashion is cyclical.

2wReally interesting how sock height and fashion in general it seems like can be so cyclical. As a geriatric millennial, I remember when no-show ankle socks were becoming a thing and me being ridiculed for wearing crew socks with shorts but here we are now. Nonetheless, now that I'm definitely 30-plus, I see socks and fashion from a utility stand point-- hot day out but wearing shoes? No show socks. Deadlifting? Crew socks. Go on a hike and wearing hiking boots? Crew length hiking socks.
