I really DO know better

No matter how comfy and cosy your white athletic socks are, please remember to change them before you throw on your black leather shoes and head out for a Saturday morning of errand running. You will inevitably end up with a hem unknowingly stuck inside the leg of your jeans, and you will walk around looking a fool. Don't let yourself be lulled by the long length of your jeans, or the fact that you won't possibly see anyone you know. The universe will conspire to humiliate you and your dorky socks. Take an extra minute, run upstairs and grab hipper hosiery. You'll thank me.

  2. I have taken to stealing my husband's stripy black with stripey colours socks. Cooler than mine, and do not slip down the leg while wearing welly boots. Because I'm that hip.

  3. A library poster has a picture of a pair of black-and-white striped socks hanging on a line. This is the accompanying quotations: "Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable." Overall, a most worthy sentiment, but I think that perhaps on occasion one DOES need to choose one's socks by their character. Don't you think?
