Depends on the weather and what I’m wearing, but I usually only wear socks in the winter. Winter knee highs, summer I like slouch socks with tennis shoes.

Is socks the _only_ thing they are wearing? If so, then true; not good winter wear. Thanks!

Well, they sometimes wear 'em on their units.

Me, I wear 'em on my feet. Don’t really pay attention to whether they’re pulled up or not if I’m wearing long pants. Push 'em down if I’m wearing shorts. Gotta wow the ladies with a little glimpse of the gams, you know. 🙂

When I put them on I yank 'em up as high as I can get 'em. If later they slide down, they slide down. If they stay up, ooh, they stay up.

Most of my socks have holes. So I wear them inside-out, so the holes are on the inside.
