Geez, seriously guys, no love for ankle socks up in here? Personally my favorites are white quarter crews like the ones in my avatar, but ankle socks come in a very close second and the more cuff they have, the better. Tube socks are alright in a pinch, I suppose, but feel very dated at this point.
It's the no-show socks that I would cause to all spontaneously burst into flames and reduce to ashes if I ever rubbed a bottle with a genie in it... To me they reek of femininity, which (at least in terms of what a guy wears) is just about the biggest turn-off I can think of. Quarter crew and ankle socks, on the other hand, teleport me right back to junior high and all those delicious memories of the first boys I had crushes on...mmmmmm, if I only knew then what I know now. π
