Should Your SOCKS Match Your Shoes?

8 Jan

After the run in with the radio show I feel the pressure to be pristine at the gym.  I’m wearing the best outfits. I bought new, non-smelly shoes.  I’m working out hard because I feel like people are watching. They are watching, and they’re starting to nit pick.

My trainer, Dex, (oogle his body here) made a comment about the most insignificant thing, my socks. When he first made fun of my white girl, white socks, I shot back a “PLEASE! My sock color doesn’t matter. Don’t start with me right now.” It was 6:30am. I was tired, snarky and annoyed that he produced those slidy, glider things.

As I worked my inner thighs, and prayed this workout would give me “blogger legs”, I started thinking,

Should your SOCKS match your shoes?

Then I got a new pair of shoes and posted this photo on Instagram:

Why does this fitness fashion blogger look like a 90-year-old at a retirement community in South Florida?

My white socks were a horrific addition to my outfit, they had also given me cankles. I couldn’t believe it, my sock choice had ruined everything.

From now on, I will match my sock to the shoe it inhabits, or forego socks at all.  Next stop, Target, for no show socks in a variety of colors.

Do you think this takes fitness fashion too far? Or is Dex right?

    This is hilarious… Because socks are the one thing I DO care about (before you showed me the value in better quality workout clothing).

    For one, how can you get annoyed with that trainer he’s hot ;) and for two, I will not be partaking in the sock matching.. I do well enough to match my right sock to my left haha

      I’m dying! I’m never wearing matching socks! Maybe if they are colored I’ll be able to match them better!!

    I need to see your full outfit before I can tell you if the sock thing is ridiculous. Post and I will give you my opinion. I personally love funky colored socks. So fun! ;)

    I had the same revelation yesterday with my Nike Frees. I felt like a dork with my white socks. I guess the next question is… is it ever ok to workout sockless? :)

      I workout sockless sometimes. It makes my shoes smell faster… TMI?

    I’m lucky if my socks match each other much less my shoes!

    [...] These one were possibly even worse, they also laddered very badly too. The only positive comment about the above photos is the fact we matched our socks. (Yeah, we read that post!) [...]
