I love the idiocy of the fashion world. It generates so many opportunities for products that no one needs, but everyone simply has to have so that they are different to everyone else, whilst actually being exactly the same as everyone else.
The lastest of these fashion trends is the non-wearing of
any socks with shoes. Naturally the trousers are a little bit short or worn with a turn up to reveal and confirm that you are 'on trend' - same as every one else. Of course this is bound to bring with it a degree of discomfort, with freezing ankles and chaffing shoes, but not to worry, my new range of No Socks, Socks solves both of these issues.
They are of course pairs of socks printed with ultra realism to resemble the average naked male ankle, of my locale. This means the colour is mostly a type of pastie bleached white, complete with spidery veins, and a sprinkling of hair, punctuated by the odd scab or pimple. Naturally a photograph of the respective ankles will ensure a perfect match for individually customised pairs of No Socks, Socks to be made and printed.
"No Socks, Socks - I can't believe they're not, not wearing socks!"

What's wrong with full-length skin-tight transparent PVC stockings, like the ones you wear ... ? |
|
| |
// they'll look back on with embarrassment. // |
|
| |
[xen]'s PVC is pretty embarrassing from the front, too. There's something wrong about a garment that you need a bottle of baby oil* or a jar of Rentisham's** to help you get in to... |

** Follow the instructions on the label. Do not exceed the stated dose. If symptoms persit, consult a doctor. If symptoms still persist, consult a mortician. |

Never flent your leggings with anything else. |

"punctuated by the odd scab or pimple." nice touch, I appreciate the attention to detail.
However I am concerned my carbuncles may require design copyright. I wear socks to stop
jealous looks and envious whispers. I don't want to get caught up in legal wrangles or be socked
when I see a particularly distinctive puss-y [hyphen added to minimise childish remarks] nodule
on another commuters lower extremity; that would make me feel cheap. |

//a photograph of the respective ankles will ensure a perfect match// Celebrity ankle socks! |

Steady on [Chairborne]; IIRC, our own [xenzag] has stated in
the past that he rocks precisely that look. Anyway, "for all
time" is a large claim; will a traveler from an antique land,
having found two vast and trunkless legs of stone, still dis
the socks on them? |

Roman legionaries stationed on Hadrian's Wall wore socks with sandals (caligae). |
|
| |
Not sure how that moves the discussion on, but there you are. |
|
| |
Sandals, on the scotch border, in winter, means losing toes to frostbite. If anything screams "Fashion victim !". it's that ... |
|
| |
I always wear socks with sandals. I take a special pride in being completely 'unfashionable', but I can claim to having taught some very successful fashion students, one of whom is now a total mega success. |
|
| |
// I always wear socks with sandals. // |
|
| |
There is nothing wrong with that per se, but the convention is (as we understand it) that both items should be worn - in matching pairs - on the feet; socks first, sandals on the outside. |
|
| |
The way you do it is more than a bit weird ... |
|
| |
Why do the socks have to match? I couldn't care less what matches or doesn't - one black and one white sock suits me fine. |
|
| |
OK, non-matching if you must ... just wearing them on your feet would be a start. |
|
| |
It's one thing to flaunt social conventions regarding clothing, and quite another to trigger the sort of psychological shock and trauma that you cause... |
|
| |
The reverse of this should also be available - i.e. sock tattooing for your anklular regions to make it look like you're wearing socks when you're not. |
|
| |
You could even have some sort of slip-on removable fabric covering that makes your feet and ankles look like they've got socks tattooed on them. |
|
| |
Even cleverer would be some sort of slip-on removable fabric covering printed to look like a sock, to fool people into thinking you were wearing socks |
|
| |
That would be cool, you should post it ... |
|
| |
// to fool people into thinking you were wearing
socks// Wearing socks is by far the best way into
fooling people that you are wearing socks. Wearing
socks that look like you're not wearing socks is the
best way of fooling people into believing you're not
wearing any socks, whilst wearing socks! |
|
| |
I think what’s needed is something where you can
go sockless, but which fools people into thinking
that you’re actually wearing a form of slip-on
removable fabric covering designed to make it look
like you’re not wearing socks. |
|
| |
Tiny shoe-mounted laser projectors which project the subtle sheen of a thin woven no-sock disguise. |
|
| |
^ <smiles> Are those socks printed with lead contrasts? </smiles> |
|
| |
This socks wouldn’t fool anyone into saying “I
can’t believe they’re not, not any wearing socks”
My “no socks socks” are individually made to order
from leg scans. |
