I was referring to the lack of socks btw

>trends
what can someone explain to me

>>11682305
Are you serious? Loafers of this variety (along with boat shoes) are meant to be worn without socks or with no-show socks.

>>11682349
The shoes in the picture weren't my focus I just grabbed the first picture off google. A few people wore suits without socks to my prom and I think they just looked like cunts

Hitler youth or undercuts.

They're trash.

>>11682279
>those are a man's ankles
disgusting

>>11682627
It's really easy and fun to style them, and it looks good on most people.

>>11682358
When I was in my college debate team a lot of the opponents tried to be /Mfa/ or fedora tier and didn't wear socks. They all got docked points or eliminated. I usually always wore black silk or something whimsical. Tournaments are usually from 4am to 11pm so I had no time for sweaty uncomfortable feet. Plus it looks cheap and trashy

>>11682687
4am-11pm???

>>11682297
If you didn't grow up in an area where this was the norm, where these were the shoes you saw your father and grandfather wear during the summer, then no one expects you to get it.

>>11682358
Sans-socks is acceptable in business and business casual wear, especially if everything else compliments your shoes and you don't have obscene wooly mammoth ankles.

Horsebit is more distasteful than sans-socks desu

>>11682672
Not true at all - it depends entirely on your hair color, your hairline, and how your hair behaves with length.

Well yeah, wearing a suit with shoes and no socks (especially to fucking prom) is extremely tacky.

But, leather shoes without socks does work in more casual fits, especially on a boat or at a casual picnic or something.

I havnt worn socks in over a year, feels good man. Either Im wearing flip flops or boat shoes because of Florida's eternal summer.

I'm with OP. The no-socks thing is getting out of control. 90% of the fits you see on this board have pants that are either too short or cuffed to show off their ankles, which doesn't make any sense. I don't think your ankles are an attractive body part. Whenever I see a fit on /fa/ I just cringe at how uncomfortable it must be to have exposed ankles. Does this not bother anybody else? Even fits that attempt to professional look like they had a growth spurt and couldn't afford new pants.

>>11682759
There's nothing wrong with his statement. It is/was a trend.

>>11682279

As a skinny guy, it sucks having everything be baggy. Even with fitting clothes, there's still the fact that my arms are literal sticks. I'm jealous of all the big guys with thick forearms that can easily hold a watch on the wrist without it sliding down to their elbow.

I wear boat shoes on boats. I never understood why people would wear them in general, although they are airy in the summer.

>if you didn't grow up in an area where this was the norm
THIS. Grandparents and uncles on my mother's side used to race sailboats and my grandfather still has a sailboat on a mooring off from their summer cottage.

It's always funny to hear kids make remarks about "ohhh, where's your sailboat? XD" and then inform them that you grew up sailing with family.

That and top siders were a part of our uniform in high school so I still have multiple pairs.

>>11682672
Most of people I've seen wearing them look pathetic trying to cover up a cubby face/ shit nose with these

>>11683721

the fact that you haven't moved past your heritage and your childhood are clear signs of an uncreative dork. i doubt you sail more than david de rothschild

>>11686524
>moved past
It's no so much that I'm fixated on it, as it is that it's just a style I've grown up with and continued to enjoyed through the summer months. I don't sail a lot, and I don't have my own sailboat yet, but I still enjoy the nautical/northeastern summertime aesthetic. Why do you think that's so bad to like? I don't get it.

He died a year later in an unrelated scooter accident wearing boat shoes.

Boat shoes kill.

Real sailors haven't been wearing deck shoes for ages.

Race sailing shoes is where it's at nowadays.

No socks and showing off ankle is gay as fuck for men!

>>11682279
>>11682291

I guess when you become rich you suddenly stop getting blisters on your feet.

Crocs, fanny packs, socks with sandals, JNCO jeans, tucking your pants into your boots and tying the laces around your calves...

>>11683515
the thing is
>ankles are a body part
>theres nothing uncomfortable about exposed ankles

Maybe it looks like they had a growth spurt and couldnt afford new pants to you cause your still getting growth spurts?

>>11686331
imo i think its more difficult to gain weight for some people, especially if they ever reach /thinspo/ levels. Im 6'1 around low150, I have never weighted more than 160 and lowest I have been is 138, unless you get start chugging nutrition shakes with every meal and make a very active effort to eat more and more often when you can easily go 6hours or so without eating without much discomfort, to then eat a small meal and feel full.

Going sockless is only acceptable if you have really clean feet and/or you use foot powder. You may not be able to smell your own nasty foot odor but other people sure as hell can. Plus leather picks up smells like no other material.

>>11687875
That's a pretty big leap of logic to assume about me.

It's not that I think ankles are gross or something. I don't mind them if you're wearing shorts. It's just when you're wearing pants that are obviously too short/excessively cuffed, the only thing people notice are your ankles and wonder why you're pulling so much attention to them. I imagine you sitting down and having your goofy cuffed pants coming up to your knees.

same here alway thot they were ug af

Jordans and AF1s
just don't get it

>>11688814
I agree with this.

>>11688854
I got into streetwear starting in like 05, back when AF1s were THE shoe
and I never fucking understood it; my friend drools whenever he sees a pair of AF1s with certain characteristics, so I know it's a fetish-level fad for some people

>>11688860
I mean, I think Jordans look cool, but people wear it completely wrong. it's disgusting sometimes. AF1s are so common that having a pair is being basic desu

>>11688865
There was a big reggaeton trend in my area at that time; and if you know the style, AF1s are mandatory

>>11682672
As a guy who lives in a city that just reached peak fade, I have to say that it only looks good on good looking people (shockingly).

>>11685719

Not >>11686279, I'm >>11682803.

Grew up in coastal Connecticut, spent most of the year sailing, taught Laser/420/470/FJ through high school, crewed on big boats (mostly IRC) in college because my school didn't have collegiate sailing, did some deliveries after college, kind of gave it up when I moved down south.

But you're right, I almost never wore shoes, the only thing better than bare feet on a boat is technical shoes, but that's only if the deck grit is rough (they don't do shit on teak).

Far too many people in the Northeast who wear sailing brands and try to emulate that sort of lifestyle but couldn't tell you the different betwene port and starboard.

>>11690183
most people can tell left from right and red from green; few of them can tell a reef knot from a clove hitch though, but i get your drift

>>11682279
Do people really go sockless on those?

>>11690485
some people do, some don't
some people don't wear undies, some don't wear shirts, some shave their head, some shave their armpits, some let all of it grow.

shocking, I know.

any other questions?
