The hairy legs thing is normal, men are supposed to have hairy legs. People would probably think you were weird if they weren't hairy. Socks look terrible with shorts, but it's all down to preference.

Do they really! i'm really embarrassed now! I've done this sooo many times without ever thinking anything of it, lol! I think i'll avoid it from now on ....only one problem - the insides of the shoes get sticky if you don't wear socks....are short socks acceptable?

Let's hope you're not wearing socks and sandals because that altogether is another level of crime... Lol :smile:

You could always wear trainer socks, so long as they matched the colour of your shoes! (I.e. dark for dark shoes) but definitely not long socks... Leg hair is fine though, it's natural for men to have hairy legs! x

You wouldn't believe how many guys do that at my uni. :eek:
I really hate socks and sandals but actually it's something that's supposedly been very in vogue for a while now . . . especially really thick wooly socks and sandals. I don't really get it - I think it looks rubbish. As that old geezer, Yves Saint Laurent, once said: 'Fashion fades, style is eternal.'

Id be a bit worried if the guy was wearing shorts and didnt have hair legs! Definatly kick the habit of wearing full on socks with them, I can't stand this! Trainer socks yes, always but not big ones! Nope never! And even if it is in vogue....the answer is still no!

wear trainer socks if you're wearing trainers with the shorts.i would definitely NOT recommend wearing any other sort of shoes with shorts. long socks with shorts are only ever acceptable if you're a tennis player. fact!!
Shorts and hairy legs go together quite well methinks :smile:

yea for men its fine its normal for them to hav hairy legs trusts me its werid seenin a man with semi shaved legs
yeah hairy legs look fine with shorts, we can't help it!

as for socks, you can wear normal length ones but fold them over so they are the same sort of shape as ankle socks because it does look stupid when you have socks halfway up your leg when wearing shorts, or have this silly looking bit where you have them rolled down.

my suggestion would be to wear ankle socks wherever possible
