Would you leave the house with mismatched socks?

It probably depends on the work environment. In a highly professional environment I’d probably change if it was obvious and I had time. In a more casual environment, I would roll with it. I work in a ridiculously casual environment, so I wouldn’t be embarrassed at all. It happens.

I would either take them off, try to tuck them down or hopefully my pants are long enough that no one will notice.

I would never have this problem because I look at my socks before I put them on.
I do notice if my kids wear mismatched socks and I make them fix it.
Then again, Im the type of person who must match bra, underwear and socks so that should tell you something.

i would think something was going on if my socks matched lol

Did you know that mismatched socks are all the rage with the younger teen girls? My daughter and all her friends wear them proudly…knee socks & shorties, with shorts & skirts. They actually sell sets of brightly unmatched socks in the girls clothing boutiques.

I despise socks, but on the off chance I left the house with an unmatched set; I’d head back home & change.

I pair all my socks right out of the dryer, and am very careful to make sure they match at that time. This is probably because I did leave the house in mismatched socks once. For whatever reason, I was really embarrassed about it even though they were the same style and were both white. One of them had a pink toe seam or something and the other didn’t. I didn’t realize it until I’d been hanging around shoe-less with a bunch of people for a while. Apparently, it made quite an impression on me.

It happens to me all the time – but not intentionally.

“Embarassed if someone noticed”? Years ago I owned the same pair of shoes in black and in brown.

One day, I put the pair on in the closet (i.e., I put my foot in the shoe while the shoe was in the front of the closet. Hey! I take them off that way!).

When I got to work, I realized I had one black shoe and one brown shoe. Do you know, not a single person noticed! Not even my girlfriend. In fact, I called it to their attention!

@Mr_M That is too funny!

Am I in a hurry? Then, no. Being on time for my appointment is more important than mismatched socks. If I feel strongly about it for some reason, I’ll take them off en route and go sockless.

Am I not in a hurry? Yes, I’ll change the socks because I can.

Would I? Not on purpose. Have I? Yep. I’m a dork – even noticed it before I walked out, but I was way to preoccupied to remember to change socks.

If I wore socks I would probably deliberately wear mismatched ones. It is so much easier just to grab two socks out of the drawer and put them on and go than to apply any sorting system.

I have been known to wear two different colors of Converse All-Stars at the same time. Did I do it on purpose or by accident? I’ll never tell! As my brother says, I seem to have a unique sense of style.

And he’s a musician who wears Hawaiian shirts on stage. Go figure.

I have to wear special knee socks under my brace and I limit them to white or dark shades. My biggest fashion faux pas is when I am picking a pair of socks pre-dawn and I find myself wearing navy with a black dress or vice versa. Even worse when I end up with one of each. On those days I spend a lot of time standing behind the podium,

I buy them mismatched .

Now I feel odd ;-)

I purposely wear them mismatched. Why not? Please show me the rule that says that one needs to wear matched socks at all times. Oh yes, that rule doesn’t actually exist! As with a lot of other “rules”, when you look at their root, you realize that it exists only in others’ minds. Why should I ever be obliged to conform to someone’s mental image of what I should be like or what I should dress like? I can’t think of one good reason, hence I don’t follow these arbitrary rules, especially fashion rules, which aren’t really rules at all.

As Mr_M elaborates, most people are too concerned with how they look and appear to the world to pay attention to you and spot your foible.
