This is, quite possibly, one of the silliest ideas for a thread I've ever seen.

Short socks. I'm almost always wearing cargo shorts, and wearing long socks would look painfully stupid. I go sockless more often than not though.

I prefer long socks (knee and above) on skirts, shorts, and at home for relaxation days. Short and mid-sized socks for jeans or tights or when working out.

Long socks. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of them right now. I've mostly got short ones that only go halfway up the calf.

I really do not have a preference unless the length is dependent on occasion.

Long socks. Sometimes really long socks. Like over the knee long socks.

Though really, I prefer being able to wear no socks at all. As soon as the weather's warm enough, I switch to sandals and wear those as much as I can.

I prefer short socks when the weather is warm and humid because the longer they are, the more heat they trap. However, I do wear long socks when it gets colder and during soccer to keep shin guards in place.

Also, who gives a shite?

I've always worn short socks that only go just above the ankle. Long socks are frivolous in my opinion. They do look sexy af on women, though....
