Black, White or colored socks?

I know this one sounds silly, a few friends and I were discussing what kind of sock we wear. So I thought I see what the Gnetters wear.

Which do you wear the most?:

Black socks

White socks

Colored socks (yes,the striped ones are acceptable).

I only wear white socks. I hate colored socks, and I refuse to wear black sock because I always end up with black gooey gunk between my toes from black socks. With white socks, I never get nasty gunk.

It's a special occasion when my socks actually match, but when they do, they're usually striped.

Hmmm.. I wear all of the above (I have a fascination with socks, heh)
But my favorite are knee high stripey socks, for some reason. xp

Generally black. I do have a few pairs of stripped toe socks that I wear from time to time.

Mostly, I wear white socks. I read somewhere that they reduce the risk of athlete's foot. Since, I'm constantly on my feet, wearing shoes, it just seemed practical.

Recently, I just bought some sweeeeet boots, so I wear more knee-highs and thigh-highs of various colors and designs. No socks.

White for health.

If I'm going out and white socks would just look plain fuxxored in my outfit, I'll go with black socks.

I usually wear tall boots anyway. So white for me

I just find clean socks and put them on. They're often white, because I steal them from my brother.

Just plain generic white, since my feet are never visible anyway.

Am I the only one who thinks this is an homage to Andrew Eldritch?


White socks, they're the thickest.

I wear white socks when they'll be hidden (in tall boots or the like) but black socks when they can be seen so that they match the rest of my ensomble.

I always wear black socks.

It used to be the opposite until a couple of years ago when I just got fed up looking at them and then I threw them all away.

Am I the only one who wears socks with fun patterns? Most of my socks are like that... with stars, or coffee cups, or cats, or something else random all over them.

My socks never match. I do my own washing. No one ever sees my socks...so what does it matter if my one sock has Tigger on it and the other one has balck and white stripes?

I wear mostly white socks, for now. The only reason that's the case, though, is because it's all I have. I'd much prefer to wear black.
