Is this a topic to get really upset about? I mean, we're talking about socks, here.

I have a pair of black kilt hose, quite nice. I hate them and never wear them. But that's just me and my personal bent. I have a couple of pairs of less expensive grey hose. I love them and wear them all the time and in fact hve worn out a pair, my first worn-though pair of kilt socks.. I have a couple of pairs of cream hose...one pair is wool, the others are cotton, but quite nice for all that. I wear them all the time.

I figure, wear what you want and what you think looks good, and don't get upset about little stuff like the color of another guys socks.
