Question Gym people, black or white socks?

Hi

I know it's a tad trivial but Sal is giving me a really hard time over my wearing black socks in the gym! She wants me to wear white ones, against my will as black make me look stupid, aren't coordinated and others stuff that I can't remember cos I gave up listening!

So, bearing in mind I'll be wearing a random T shirt, navy blue shorts (which are too long and make look....) with blue trainers, what colour socks should I wear?

buy some trainer socks, the ones that you cant see when you've got your trainers on, they just cover your feet and stop around the ankle

Voted black, but just wear tracksuit trousers and no worries. I wear odd socks sometimes and feel like I'm living on the edge.

Get yourself some of those pink and green flourescent ones from the eighties, and mix and match.

Seriously though, go for black.

Trainer socks, well if you are considering these you need to buy and read GQ.

Actually I think you should wear very short shorts, with white tennis socks pulled up as high as they can go. Show that to Sal and see if its an improvement

white football socks are permissable but should really be paired with white shorts. and then not a white t-shirt.

vests in gyms - now they should be banned.
