I do have some special winter socks that I got for Christmas that I could wax poetic about, but I will save that for later.

I have struggled over the years with how high I want my white socks (while wearing shorts), to come above my foot (meaning, how long I want the socks to be). For some reason I have never been able to determine what looks best on me. Popping right out of the sneaker, or a little bit higher? It has always been a struggle.

A sock tip:
Buy some large safety pins. When you take off a pair of socks pin them together on the toe end. They will stay together in the wash. Then they are already matched when they come out of the dryer.
Voilą!
You're welcome.
