fatcat04 Posted March 19, 2009 #76 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ask the same teen about sagging jeans and underwear showing... I guess that should be OK too. :rolleyes: And don't forget bare midriffs complete with muffin top while showing your bra straps.. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangearmy Posted March 19, 2009 #77 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I always carry an extra pair of white socks in my fanny pack in case the white socks I have on with my sandles get dirty. PH Hate to have to do this but for the benefit of everyone else-"Nerd Alert!!":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenelopeCorelli Posted March 20, 2009 #79 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Middle-Aged Mom and Pipesdream62....you are sooo right about Seattle! Hey, wearing socks and sandals is THE fashion statement here. I don't care for the look, but it is common enough. My hubby most always wears socks with sandals. Can't say as I have seen very many here wearing socks and flip flops though! That looks strange. By the way, Pemco Insurance has made lots of commercials regarding Seattle folks' eccentricities and one of those had to do with our Seattle sock sandal fashion statement. Wow, And I never knew I was uncool! Just shows you. OK, I guess living in seattle for 20+ years is the reason. Also, I'm a first-gen american w/ European parents, and then I don't like to have to keep my feet nice & pedicured:p. (I also smashed my toe & have a black toenail -yuk!- it may not grow out by cruise-time!:eek:)So I still can't wear sox w/ my athletic sandals (w/ long pants, NOT skirts)? Can I wear knee-hi nylons? I hate stinky sandals!:confused:But don't want to offend!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm321 Posted March 20, 2009 #80 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Nearly everyone packs sandals for cruises, right? At one time, wearing socks with sandals was a HUGE faux pas, attracting finger-pointing and snickering. Does anyone know if today, sandals and socks are an acceptable combination while cruising? What about in ports, especially Europe? Not even in New England where I live!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroneWynd Posted March 20, 2009 #81 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ask the same teen about sagging jeans and underwear showing... I guess that should be OK too. :rolleyes: First, they aren't teens, they are in their 20's. Have good jobs, are respected members of several organizations, and never wear saggy jeans. All I was saying is, it is an acceptable fashion statement, particularly with the younger set, and in some areas of the country. Sorry that got your knickers twisted.

suse Posted March 20, 2009 #83 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ha! This is such a fun subject. Hey, we should talk about what kind of travel bag you carry. You know, when you get off the ship to visit an island. Mine is as ugly as can be. A red vinal travel bag with a travel company's logo! My husband has the exact same one!!!! It's a hoot and a holler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted March 20, 2009 #84 Share Posted March 20, 2009 First, they aren't teens, they are in their 20's. Oops, sorry, my bad! Have good jobs, are respected members of several organizations, and never wear saggy jeans. All I was saying is, it is an acceptable fashion statement, particularly with the younger set, and in some areas of the country. Sorry that got your knickers twisted. Well, I am just saying that just because something is acceptable someplace doesn't mean it is acceptable everywhere. If sandals are socks are OK, why not saggy jeans with underwear sticking out? FYI, I don't wear knickers. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapper1 Posted March 20, 2009 #88 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Uh what part of the country and what are knickers? How do knickers get twisted? have never heard that expression. "Knickers" is a British term for ladies' underwear. I expect that if they got twisted it would make a person quite snarky-----hence the expression. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyher Posted March 22, 2009 #93 Share Posted March 22, 2009 JMHO But the problem with most trends and fads in fashion are that they are usually started by the kids (teens and 20s). Every younger generation has had their thing (from bobbing your hair, to bobby sox, to poodle skirts, Nehru jackets etc, etc, etc) Its what the kids do to fit in, make their parents crazy, or just make some kind of statement. As with everything with kids , they change from one thing to another before you know, one minute its socks with sandals , next week it will be God knows what. its no biggie, its a part of growing up, and if the worst thing your kid ever does is show a little midriff or wears his pants below his boxers you're lucky. What's sad is when adults start getting into these trends to look cool. Most of these fashion statements are definately geared to the young and well built. Even something like sandals with sox. ona teen you laugh and think "Crazy kids what will they think of next?" On an adult you shake your head and say *****. *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innlady1 Posted March 22, 2009 #96 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Wearing socks with sandals defeats the purpose of sandals. Sandals are meant to help keep your feet cool in hot weather. If you're wearing them with socks in cooler weather, you should have switched over to regular shoes. Even up here in the "frozen tundra" we don't wear sandals & socks. Ugh. Smooth Sailing! :):):) For most of us, yes. But for Birkenstock aficionados, no. I guess people who love Birkenstocks want to wear them in warm and cold weather, therefore the socks. That "look" - Birkenstocks and socks - is "in" with the crunchy granola types (as they're called here in the Boston area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
