The wrongness of White Socks

Ok so this one goes out to all my American peeps - the reason why I believe white socks are wrong!

One of my first observations when spending time in America was their love for white socks. 

I don't get it.

I remember being sat in the airport and seeing people with sandals on and white socks pulled up to the ankles.
White socks can be so obnoxious, so catching to the eye, you can't wear them more than once and you definitely can NOT wear them with sandals or shorts . . . WRONG!

But enough of my ranting.
Why is it that the Brits tend to wear different coloured socks?
I posted that question on my Facebook - needless to say I didn't get productive answers!
So I decided to do some research . . . I came across this website The History of Socks

 

 - Bright socks have been worn since the 8th century the trend started by barbarians! 

 -"Reverend William Lee of Nottinghamshire, England invented a sock-knitting machine in 1598, and started to make hosiery out of cotton, wool and silk. The machine made bright colored socks easier to produce, cheaper, and encouraged their popularity."

 SO that is why bright coloured socks are popular in England - They were made and invented here. BUT why should that trend stop here on this island? I personally wont let it!

 My encouragement to all of you with white socks - Brits, Yanks, wherever you are from  . . . TRASH them and break free from boring and plainness - getting different coloured socks will be the most freeing
and liberating thing in your life (other than Jesus!)
You will not get embarrassed if your socks are a day old, you wont have
to bleach them, you can choose your style depending on your mood and here is a bonus factor it will brighten your day and anyone who sees them!

DO IT and feel free to comment!! :)
