The socks I wear to the gym are like the second one except black.

But everyone else including other old people like me and the young guys all wear those micro socks that you can barely see.

Depends on what I'm doing. At the gym/gymwear I wear long black socks. If I'm just wearing regular chino shorts, I wear no-show socks

Depends on the shoes, pants, where you're going, etc.

The second pic could only be comfortable if you have small calves though. Idk how you could like them being squeezed by the elastic.

The ones that go just above the ankles are the perfect length for most things. Haven't worn anything except ankle length black socks in like a decade. Used to wear no-show socks to the gym and stuff, but those are honestly kinda feminine so I quit that.

On a side note, am I the only one who doesn't find it sexy when women wear those knee/thigh high white tube socks with the red/blue stripes on them? Always hated that shiiiit. They confuse being tacky and the fact that we'd plow them regardless of their awful fashion sense with actual decent fashion.

Cant stand those no see type socks, they always fall down into the shoe.

I just like regular old man length socks. The reason is, they are just socks and normally people dont go about worrying about others sock lengths.

I get 2 in black or gray. I don't wear shorts. If I do I have several black pairs of no-show socks.
