White sox, now myself I'd never wear them unless I was playing some sort of sport. Maybe they'd go un-noticed if your everyday Joe had a pair on with Nikes and jeans. But with any other get up really in this day and age they're only good for comic value, Blues Brothers style. No one is ever taken serious if they wear white socks like that. Clearly its different Stateside but in Blighty or Norway-no chance. Its such a no-no infact in those Countries most people with any interest in clothes at all would wonder if the wearer was a little simple. Which I'm sure Ox isn't.

Is the rug some sort of Pagan birth mat?

You were a complete bell-end in 1979/80 and beyond if you didn't wear white socks....M&S /C&A sock section never had it so good?!?

I seem to remember wearing good quality thick white socks with loafers back in the late 60's (in London) but I preferred the red sox that the Squire shop sold for heavier shoes like Brogues,Gibsons,Royals. When every herbert started to wear the cheaper versions they became devalued and ridiculed. A bit like the Harrington jackets. Cool at first then to be avoided later. OCBD always carries off the look well and you would easily pick him out, in London, as the all-American boy. Smart fella.

Off white WigWams are essential!
