<p>I only go white sock (Under Armour, mostly) if I’m working out or playing basketball. Otherwise, it’s no socks or no-shows/peds with shorts, and I like going crazy with socks when I’m wearing pants (but I’m GQ like that, so I’m the guy wearing orange-striped socks).</p>
<p>In conclusion, if you’re wearing white tube socks with black sneakers, and you’re not playing lacrosse–yes, you look silly, especially to attractive girls.</p>
<p>Thit b/w is something that I call ‘omg…’ stay away. if you want to NOT look like geek or looser. :)</p>
<p>Short white socks with black tennis shoes aren’t a huge deal. White socks with black loafers or dress shoes and black pants (or those shoes with khakis) is decidedly un-classy, though not in the same neighborhood as sandals and black socks (or any socks).</p>
<p>Edit: I’ll go ahead and echo wizkhalifa up there. GQ’s the way to go.</p>
