Guys with no socks on. WTF?

seachto7 · 14-02-2018 2:05pm #1

I’ve noticed, mainly young Irish males, completely dressed in the wrong clothes for cold winter weather. No socks, converse, and bum freezer jackets. I mean, ffs, what is wrong with these people?

No idea of warm socks or proper shoes or clothing for cold weather?

What’s the story with the no bloody socks? It looks stupid more than anything else.

There’s a uniform amongst the young fellas now:
Black trainers. No socks. Black skinny tracksuit bottoms. Black puff jacket. Quiff.

In 0 degrees.

The foreigners do be laughing....

It's a very regular occurrence abroad and it's basically a style now.
Personally, I couldn't give 2 fcuks what people wear.
I think those socks are those really small ones you wear to the gym?

gerrybbadd · 14-02-2018 2:09pm

I see this a fair bit now myself. Hate the sight of it.

Cover up them ankles ye flutes

D3V!L · 14-02-2018 2:10pm

Looks awfully uncomfortable

freshpopcorn · 14-02-2018 2:12pm

Out off all the trends in the past it's one look I find that doesn't look good at all.
I even find the tracksuit/no socks thing kind of bearable compared to no socks with formal clothes/shoes.
When I went to school people wore tracksuits because they were warm/comfortable and not tight with a gap at the end.

Probably wearing no show socks

seachto7 · 14-02-2018 2:18pm

Grand in 35 degrees. In -2, you look like a langer.

Cushie Butterfield · 14-02-2018 2:24pm

If this was twenty years ago people would feel sorry for the person dressed like that - Ill fitting clothes that aren’t warm enough & they’ve clearly grown out of & being so poor as not being even able to afford a pair of socks.

Who knew?

The Backwards Man · 14-02-2018 2:26pm

There's two things you should never leave the house without.

Both socks.

DavyD_83 · 14-02-2018 2:28pm

The next step that I see on TV seems to be what lol distinctly like slippers.
I dunno, I've never claimed to be stylish, but to me it just looks ****.
There's plenty of trends in not into, but I at least get that the guys pull it off and look good.

That lad needs a good spell in the army

Zubeneschamali · 14-02-2018 2:29pm

Young people today, bah! You're not going anywhere dressed in that, young man!

And get a hair cut!

tonycascarino · 14-02-2018 2:35pm

These guys think they are some sort of 'fashion influencers' but in reality look like absolute tossers.

seachto7 · 14-02-2018 2:37pm

I reckon people will just be walking around in their jocks one of the days...

Cantona's Collars · 14-02-2018 2:51pm

Saw a guy in the pub the other night,skinny tracksuit bottoms and shoes without socks. It looked like he'd just thrown something on to leg it out to put out the bins before bed.
Wearing footwear without socks just feels gank anyway.

Is that a jacket with a photo of Ashley Cole on the back?

I'd say the Navy would suit him better somehow.

nice_guy80 · 14-02-2018 10:23pm

puff jacket + shorts and ankle socks with trainers on a freezing cold day

I don't understand.

namloc1980 · 14-02-2018 10:25pm

Irish people in general underdress for the prevailing weather conditions. Freezing cold and pissing rain? Hoody will do. Bit of sun in March? Shorts and t-shirt.

They'd be fine if they had a proper pair of socks!

It's a bit of uniform now alright.. it's like a production line...

Yer Da sells Avon · 14-02-2018 10:32pm

It wouldn't be my thing (a comfortable pair of socks is more my thing), but other people can wear whatever they like for all I care.

I actually find it a bit sad to be honest. All the teenagers see, to be wearing the same thing!

foxy06 · 14-02-2018 10:33pm

As a mother of 5 I am delighted with this trend of trousers that are 2 sizes to small. Getting great mileage out of clothes these days.

pgj2015 · 14-02-2018 11:01pm

i see so many lads these days in minus 5 degrees celsius, wearing no socks with shoes that when i see a young lad wearing socks,i think fair play to ya and have a lot more respect for him. which is sad that thats all i takes these days. also lads wearing just a t shirt on a night out, its snowing mate.

14-02-2018 11:05pm

i think it must be as bad in any weather. do their feet not get sticky and gross and mess up those shoes? are they somehow wearing super invisible socks?
they can do as they like obviously but i wonder if they are comfy

People who do it all clam to have brilliant foot care methods. Seems like a lot of hassle to be to show off your pale ankles!

blackcard · 14-02-2018 11:12pm

There is as much logic to a male having no socks as there is for a female wearing no socks.

entropi · 14-02-2018 11:14pm

"Fashion", I'm told. Bollox, is what I hear.

Boatshoes and chinos, no socks? What the fcuk?

Saw some girls on the luas Friday night. One of them just had a blouse on. The rest of the world was dressed for the weather.

Noveight · 14-02-2018 11:51pm

Are denim jackets cool again? Were they ever not cool? I'm lost.

14-02-2018 11:54pm

Ive seen plenty of those Conor Mcgregor “hard” guy types out this winter wearing cargo shorts and runners. In Winter. With bare legs . Just wrong .

They sort of are. I'm pushing in second half of my twenties and all they mean to me is Brokeback Mountain!

They got the style from the foreigners. It's a worldwide trend. You're just out of touch.

Tidyboii · 15-02-2018 12:39am

Drives me mental. Down around the country, its starting to be the sat night pub gear trend. With the lack of socks, and outgrown perms shaved round the sides its becoming an epidemic.
If you do this or think its fashionable, you deserve a swift puck in the jaw

I'm quite certain that you aren't allowed have an opinion regarding what's fashionable.

Apologies, what city does thou hail from? Remember, Irish citys are merely small towns in comparison to other countrys across the globe

Irish Guitarist · 15-02-2018 6:59pm

There's something about male feet that really makes me retch.

I watch YouTube videos of guitarists doing demonstrations of guitar effect pedals. If I see them stepping on the pedal with a bare foot I stop the video immediately. This is the latest video I couldn't stop quick enough.

I wear socks every day but you'd never see them. Haven't a clue what they are called. You can only see the sock if you remove the shoe.

Simon201 · 15-02-2018 7:09pm

Was at a hotel about 6 months ago. A wedding was on and the groom and 5 or 6 groomsmen and a few scally pageboys all had matching suits and no socks.

Looked totally stupid and must have been uncomfortable wearing wedding type shoes....

Guys with no socks on. WTF?
