Once and For All, Let’s Figure Out How to Wear Socks with Shorts
This article may contain affiliate links, learn more.
As I wrote in my post about bow ties, I used clothes as self-expression when I was younger. I was a kid who was self-consciously weird, interested in art, with eclectic tastes; my wardrobe reflected that. I was never sure what to do with socks when wearing shorts, so I did what any self-consciously weird/arty/eclectic kid would do, and chose socks that drew attention to themselves: argyles, stripes, colorful prints of anchors and hamburgers.
I still do wear colorful socks—under jeans to the store, with dress pants and a jacket, and everything in between—but after a recent refresh of my shorts rotation, I started wondering how to truly master sophistication with my summer getup. Read on for the full report!
Here were the options:
1. Keep on with colorful, calf-height socks.
I could have just plowed forward with what I’d always done, but the whole point of this exercise was intentionality.![]()
Unconscious style choices tend towards the juvenile side of things—it’s why you see guys in their thirties still sporting 1999-era crispy hair gel. My main problem with colorful socks as a consistent pairing with shorts is that it was faddish for the first decade of the 2000’s.
As a design choice, keeping your splash of color to a minimum helps your outfit stay balanced; they work with long pants because you only show peeks of your socks when walking or sitting, rather than the whole thing. Don’t play your entire hand on your feet!
2. White ankle-length socks.
I could have just turned the clock back to the mid-90’s, AKA the dark corner where 80’s style limped off to die, right? No.
Besides, I was going for taking the attention off of my socks here, not adding sunlight reflectors to my legs.
3. Athletic socks.
When I make intentional design choices, I like to go back to the maxim popularized by the 1920’s-50’s era design school Bauhaus: form follows function.
Athletic socks are designed to pair with athletic uniforms. That goes for calf-length striped tube socks (this isn’t the 1980’s and you’re not Larry Bird), for ankle-length heel-tab socks, and definitely for the black mid-calf-length Nike socks that I’ve been seeing recently on teen boys. Nothing says “I have no idea what I’m doing” at a business lunch if your feet look like you left them back at the gym.
4. No socks.
OK, I don’t care what anyone says: Gold Bond and bare feet ain’t cutting it. The funk will find you and will punish you without mercy. Don’t let it happen to you or to everyone around you. Plus, there are times when you need to be shoeless but still maintain some kind of foot barrier, like airports or no-shoe-rule houses.
So, after exploring my options, researching, and confirming my findings with the Consortium of Style Wizards,
I discovered one resounding consensus……no-show socks are the only sock you should be wearing with shorts.
The solution is simple: ditch the socked look altogether with no-show socks, also known as sock liners or liner socks.
The deal here is that it’s a cleaner look. It sums up German designer Dieter Rams’ philosophy: “Good design is as little design as possible.” If you’re going to be intentional about what you choose to wear, ask yourself: do you need to show those socks? Let’s face it, dudes’ legs just aren’t sharp-looking. There’s something about having that visually fuzzy sock edge end at a hairy leg that doesn’t look as clear-cut as the sharp shoe edge on the usually hairless ankle.
So, thumbs up the no-show sock: you get the clean sockless look with the blessed sweat barrier.
Shopping for no-show socks:
No-shows by Wander
But not all no-shows are created equal! Here are three important considerations to keep in mind when shopping for no-shows:
1. Will they actually not show?
Either show, or don’t.
If you can see even a sliver of your no-show socks, you may as well be wearing something longer.
2. Will they slip?
A quality pair of no-show socks are built to stay in place, so they should include rubberized material that holds onto your foot so the socks don’t shimmy down into the toe of your shoe and drive you bonkers every 15 minutes.
3. What color? It depends—the whole point is blending your socks into the background. If you’re going to be wearing white shoes, go for white no-shows. If you’re going for a general use and, like me, you’re a white dude with pasty feet, tan or grey is your best bet. Black works, too.
My research led me to checking out a pair of tan Fruit of the Loom no-shows and leveled up my summer sock game.
What Shoes to Wear with Shorts?
Since this post is about being a bit more intentional about what you put on your feet, let’s talk about some classic summer footwear. For the purposes of this post, we’re skipping the most formal end of the spectrum, but do bear in mind that you can totally rock a sweet pair of brogues or oxfords with shorts.
Row 1: Rockport loafers, Sperry Topsiders, Clarks desert boots
Row 2: Vans Authentics, Onitsuka Tigers, Converse All-Star low-tops
1. Loafers
These are the most formal shoes in our list. They’ll keep you comfortable and add a bit of panache to your look. If you’re just getting started, check out these classic “penny loafer” style offerings from Rockport, Bass, and Cole Haan.
2. Boat shoes/topsiders
These are the ultimate summer shoe. Comfortable, easy to kick off and slip back on, and perennially fashionable. Go for the original from Sperry.
3. Desert boots/chukkas
A post-WWII staple that has its roots with Cairo cobblers, this is another versatile formal/casual crossover choice. Since they were designed for, well, the desert, they’re lightweight and won’t bake your feet. Clarks is the original and best.
4. Canvas lace-up sneakers
Mister Rogers totally got it: when it’s time to dress down but keep classy up, canvas sneakers are the way to go.
Check out Keds Champion, Vans Authentic, and Sperry Striper.
5. Throwback sneakers
I don’t know what it is about sneakers designed from the 50’s–70’s—maybe it’s that they adhere the more minimal design principles that waned in the maximalist 80’s—but I dig ’em. Check out Adidas Gazelle, Onitsuka Tiger, and of course, the evergreen Converse All-Stars low-tops.
Wait a minute, didn’t the example of athletic shoes for casual wear break my “form follows function” rule? Technically, yes.
Hence…
…break the rules!
This is one of my favorite quotes about style:
By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist.
Its writer, Robert Bringhurst, was actually talking about typography, but it applies to everything stylistic.
Style is subjective; make it yours, even if it means taking chucking style guides like this one out the window. (Check out The Sartorialist for perfect examples of how to stylishly break style rules.
)
Sometimes, function will determine your socks—I don’t think a pair of no-shows would get you very far with hiking boots on rocky terrain—and other times, it’s simply a matter of personal taste. But I’d encourage you to get to know the well-maintained highway before you go off-roading, so you’ll know when you’re breaking the rules, and most importantly, you’ll be able to say why.
(Even if you decide to do that mid-calf black Nike sock thing that’s totally in with the 13-year-olds.)
Happy Summer, ManMade!
How to Wear Socks with Shorts
Learn how and when to wear socks with shorts plus how best to style these looks. Socks have fashion rules and you will need to learn them to look good while wearing shorts this spring and summer.
Let’s take the title one question at a time. Wearing socks with shorts violated a major fashion rule in the “old days” when shorts first became a fashion item which has not actually been that long ago.
Developed in 1880 as a part of the military uniform of the Gurkha soldiers, shorts provided a suitable attire choice for those serving in areas where the climate features included extremely hot temperatures. The fashion item now de rigueur did not take off in popularity though until the 1940s.
Until recently, you could not viably wear socks with shorts. The increase in popularity of shorts as part of men’s wear, specifically men’s work suits, has created a need to develop a way for suitably, fashionably wearing socks with shorts.

The answer for guys
No-show socks make the best choice for wearing shorts. The second choice to this option is to wear socks that only show a little above the ankle in a solid color matching the shorts or a print or plaid that includes the color of the shorts. Coordinating the colors pulls together your look.
The current trend of wearing trouser socks with shorts only applies to wearing a summer suit that features short pants.
This men’s wear look only sort of works. While acceptable, it does not look good.
Only wear athletic socks with sneakers or cross-trainers. They do not go with other types of shoes. Save your white socks to wear with white sneakers. When you wear colored sneakers, match your socks to the sneaker color. Avoid wearing solid black socks with shorts, too. Save them for your suits with pants. This only works if you wear ankle socks or no-shows that are black with black shoes.
When wearing Vans or other slip-on canvas-type shoes, use no-show socks or wear no socks. If you go with the latter choice, use a foot powder or spray to keep your shoes from developing foot sweat stink.
The answer for girls
Regarding women’s looks, like the guys, you do not wear socks with sandals. This rule stands forever.
Knee-high socks with walking shorts remain acceptable, yet more fashionable options exist. No-show socks let you show off your legs plus they look better with the dressier shoes typically worn with this type of shorts.
Ankle socks or bobby socks look good with penny loafers or other slip-on trouser shoes. Use no socks or no-show socks with dress flats when wearing walking shorts.
Use ankle-skimming socks with any tennis sneakers or crew socks. White socks with white sneakers. You can wear colorful socks with white sneakers but should avoid white socks with any color shoes except white. You need to match. So, you can wear a patterned black and white sock with either white or black shoes, but no solid white socks, especially not those that are mid-calf height with black or red or blue sneakers or any other option.
Should you wear socks with shorts?Ideally, no. It throws off the fashionable line of the shorts and the legs in them. For this reason, no-show socks have gained popularity. Designers cut these socks to hid completely beneath the shoe. Nothing peeks out but the material creates the important sweat barrier between shoe and foot.
You can create the same barrier between your feet and your shoes by using a foot powder or an absorbent liner that adheres to the bottom of the shoe.
While you might see them as an accessory, socks above the ankle height reduce the perceived length of your legs. Tall people, this causes no problem since they typically have long legs. If you have shorter legs though, pairing socks with your shorts makes your legs look even shorter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here we answer specific questions regarding socks with shorts. This essential accessory item can be worn effectively with socks but it takes an artful hand. Read on to learn the artful wearing of the no show sock, knee high sock, and novelty sock.

How can you style socks?When you wear knee-high to mid-calf height socks, you may want to change them up a bit. You can roll down or fold down the material to create a different look. Check the look in the mirror before you leave.
Rolling instead of folding the socks can create a look that throws off the outfit. Fold them down by about two inches to create a cuff. You might fold them twice to achieve the look of bobby socks from socks that actually are much longer.
You can uncuff a pair that is typically cuffed and pull them up to full height for a different look.
Are there seasonal sock looks?Yes and no. Pastel socks hit the runways in spring to match the Easter egg type colors typical to fashion during that time of year. You can wear neutral color socks such as khaki at all times of the year. Neutral colors go with nearly any outfit.

Oversized shorts: the era of basketball fashion comes to an end
NBA model Jerry West wore basketball shorts that matched the length of the loincloths. Michael Jordan has made significant changes. Back then, a group of Michigan State University freshmen known as the "Fab Five" became a national sensation in the early 1990s, in part because of their shorts, which were below the knee.
For several years the question has been how low they can sink.
But now the shorts are getting shorter. There are many conflicting opinions on this issue.
For example, with the Cleveland Cavaliers, superstar LeBron James stated that he would wear short shorts because he wanted to look more professional. But he is far from the first. Future generations of professional players coming of age are wearing tighter clothes, ahead of him.
Kelly Aubrey, Jr., 20-year-old rookie for the Washington Wizards, rolls up his shorts at the waist and bottom at almost every practice and warm-up, leaving them noticeably shorter than his peers. Rolling up his shorts a few inches above his knees, he exposes his legs more than most NBA players in the past two decades. “I just love wearing short shorts because I feel more comfortable on the court,” Aubrey said. “I don’t shake or shake anything.”
Aubrey is a representative of a new movement, a new generation. Today, basketball players are increasingly choosing short and tight shorts.
Fashion in clothes makes itself felt at a professional level.
Basketball and fashion have been closely intertwined for the past few decades. Basketball stars are pushing the trend of daring off the court as well. “On the court, fashion often reflects general trends,” said Long Nguyen. “Basketball is always more of a street sport. Therefore, street fashion is more influential for the players, and many players have grown up with street fashion, they know all the changes. This is much more reflected in basketball than in any other sport. And that was during the hip-hop era, when jeans were really big, T-shirts were really big, jackets were huge, everything was XXL." By the end of 19In the 90s, short shorts were taboo.
The NBA introduced a rule in 1997 requiring basketball shorts not to change even one inch in length and periodically penalizing players for innovations.
In October 2005, David Stern made an attempt to implement a dress code in the basketball world.
The move was widely criticized, with the reasoning being that it looked like a racist was dictating the rules to a "workforce" dominated by young African-American players who preferred hip-hop clothing: baggy jeans, baseball caps, tank tops and baggy t-shirts.
But Nguyen explained at the time that hip-hop clothing is already undergoing a dramatic transition from oversized to skinny. It was only a matter of time before the development of fashion would affect the world of basketball.
"This uniform has never been about the athlete's body," said Nguyen, who believes basketball shorts will never be baggy like they used to be. “And now fashion is really getting 'slenderer'. This is suit fabric. These are jeans. Even the hip-hop guys."
Some players find these changes reasonable for practical reasons. League players have requested uniforms that are a size or two smaller than in recent years.
Jalen Rose and the Fab Five introduced the baggy uniforms during the 1993 National Championship game that have served as a template for basketball players for years.
Players often wear compression shorts to cover their upper legs, which is healthier clothing.
"I also think it also depends on your body type," Dudley said.
Ideas of masculinity are not at all a fundamental factor in shortening and reducing clothes. Aubrey received some criticism from teammates for his less conservative outlook. He also responded to fans actively criticizing him for wearing short shorts.
“I don't care what anyone says about my shorts,” said Aubrey. Staying true to himself, Aubrey wears shorter shorts for now. "I'm a skinny guy, so I don't want to wear baggy clothes," he said. “It makes me look leaner and leaner. I started building leg muscles when I was in the NBA, so now I'm just trying to show them."

How and with what to wear shorts in 2022: fashion PHOTOS, trends, tips
What could be more comfortable in the summer heat than shorts? If you still think that these are beachwear, we recommend that you urgently reconsider your views.
In 2022, shorts are worn in classic, layered, athletic and cocktail looks. We are inspired by Western fashionist outfits and take note of the main summer formulas.
The most fashionable shorts - photo of 2022 This season can be safely declared the season of Bermuda! World designers are reviving the Parisian chic of the 60s and 70s. If we turn to the new Saint Laurent collection, we will see leather, flared silhouettes, elongated jackets and, of course, Bermuda shorts. And such trends can be traced in almost all the latest collections of other brands.
What other styles of shorts should be added to your wardrobe:
-
sports and cycling shorts;
-
mini - individual designers decided to recall the zero and it turned out that women of fashion had already missed the ultra-short length;
-
skirt - short, “skirt shorts”, especially wrap-around models with decorative buttons and many set-in folds;
-
maxi is oversized in both length and width;
-
classic shorts - with arrows, to the knee, with turn-ups.
As for materials, the collections are dominated by denim, leather, suit fabric. Fashion for environmental friendliness has revived natural and hygienic linen in trends. A separate niche is occupied by costume fabrics, from which the main base of this summer is sewn - sets with shorts and jackets of all styles.
Fashion shorts with T-shirt In a simple formula, the main thing is accessories and color combinations. With their help, you can create outfits with any mood. Remember that fitted t-shirts are still anti-trend. Choose models as freely as possible. In such summer it is not so hot and you visually look a little slimmer.

Oversized in everything: a loose T-shirt, wide Bermuda shorts, a massive belt, coarse leather weaves on the slippers and a huge fringed shopper. In this way it is difficult to go unnoticed.

Fashion shorts What will happen if the Bermudas are made even more “triangular” - i.e. more fitted at the top and wider at the bottom? The designers found the answer: they added set-in pleats with tucks at the waist and got a short skirt. Also still in trend are fake shorts that look like a pleated skirt in front and shorts in the back, and models with sewn-in bike shorts. All for the convenience of urban Amazons!

Bermuda fashion shorts The loose shorts got their name from Bermuda. They first appeared there. Due to the hot climate, the British military colonialists began to cut their trousers 3 cm above the knee. This idea turned out to be quite viable, and before the Second World War, in order to reduce the consumption of fabric for uniforms, Bermuda began to be sewn on a commercial basis.
All further transformations of classic shorts are the work of designers who could not pass by a practical and unusual thing at that time. In the 60s and 70s, there was literally a fashionable "boom" in which Bermuda took an honorable position. Today we rightfully consider this model to be traditional for summer.
