changing ones established conventions regarding dress can be very freeing

Well, I hope you are not talking about "Hair" level freeing. They don't allow that at the schools here. Well, at least not mine. Ask pet lover about hers... Wink

well, before i came here i was strictly a calvins man - only in regulation grey marl at that

however, i overcame my initial aesthetic objections to the locally produced briefs - i firmly believe these have given me a whole new lease of life

I don't care what anybody thinks. I will wear socks with sandals!!!!

If I don't then my feet will suffer. I'd rather have my street-cred (such as it is!) suffer than my feet.

Men in sandals, im gonna barf. Men have ugly feet. Men wearing sandals and showing their ugly feet is like visual assault. Only pretty women should be allowed to wear sandals.


I absolutely agree. Men in sandals....yuk. But sadly they're essential in the hot, humid summer surely? Ottherwise I'm gonna clear the room when I take my shoes off. Laughing

Hi
Let me share with you a story. I was walking through Incheon airport not too long ago after a week long excursion to China. I saw two westerners (man and a woman) both wearing teva-like flip flops and socks. I thought to myself "I hope they're on the next plane outta here cause they've been in Korea too long." That fashion faux pas by a westerner is unexcusable in tyhis country or any other. That said, please please do not wear socks with sandals. I am generally against men wearing sandals (mandals) anyway. Flipflops are fine. Sandals are a no go especially with white socks reminiscent of my fashion impaired father. =)
