Is a suit, tie and no socks now becoming acceptable or fashionable?

Socks are disappearing for executive leaders. I don’t understand it and I hate it. How can people not wear socks. But it is becoming much more common.

You bet he's gone commando! He's freeswinging and ready for action anywhere, anytime!

I don't have calcetinephobia like most of you, but those don't look like shoes I would wear without socks. It looks as if he might be wearing those socks you're not supposed to see. The right foot looks as if one of those socks is rising above the back of his shoe. But it's all black, so who knows for sure?

That's an absurd look. Sockless with a casual summer suit over a collarless shirt, and (the important part) loafers is fine.

But worsted suiting with a tie and Oxfords? No, girl, no.

Please, girl, please.

It's been a thing in CA for a while now. I don't love it.

It’s not “no socks”. The socks are cut low for a sockless look. It’s been a thing for years.

The no socks thing is fine for casual dress-up - sport coat, dress shirt (no tie), etc. It's also fine for younger men in more fashionable wear at a fancy event.

However, administration officials, executives, and others at the same level should NOT be wearing a youthful fashion like this.

If so, then open up dress for those positions to include more color and other variations. But you can't have a blue suit, white dress shirt, red tie Republican uniform with no socks - it looks stupid and makes you look even dumber.

Socks?

The sockless look with a suit and tie, only works if the guy is wearing high-heels. And then the pants should be raised in order to show more ankle.

The old fashion rules are dead.

Common white trash.

Hot!

R10, that picture is an abomination.

Everybody knows that with a suit, you don't do..... up the bottom button.

It’s a requirement

They're called "peds" which women have been using forever with flat or low heel shoes.

Wouldn't these peds be insufficiently manly for this administration? Doesn't it feminize him?

R17 - peds are still inappropriate at a World Summit.

Your feet get too sweaty without socks.

Maybe Rachel likes his feet that way so she can do a performative tableau of Mary Magdalene (Rachel) crying as she anoints Jesus's (Sean's) feet with fragrant oils and her trear drops as she wipes his unhygienic feet clean with her extensions.

It could happen, you know. And it might wind up on Instagram.

It looks like some surfer dude had an "important adult" appointment/meeting, and borrowed a suit and tie from someone...but at the last moment before he was to leave for the meeting, realizes "dude, I got no socks, man!"

Then he shrugged his head, figured the suit and tie was good enough and decided to just go sockless.

You know he totally would have worn flip flops if he could've gotten away with it.

It looks terrible and unprofessional. It wouldn't surprise me if he got a memo from the White House to put some socks on. It's the sort of thing Teump pays attention to.

I don’t want to think of the foot odor.

And it looks sloppy as hell.

I think they're no-show socks.

Is a supercalifragilistic expi alidocious?

Sean Duffy (even with sockless feet) is the least objectionable of Dump's cabinet choices.

This just looks so bad.

His toes are free ballin'.....LoL

The little white-soled leather sneakers would be a better look.

Horrors!

Quick, Harriet! Fetch my smelling salts!

It's a thing that makes wme wonder why they don't just chop thier dicks off. So disgusting.

At a minimum you need a more casual shoe than what secretary dickweed is wearing.

Depends on the occasion, venue, profession, time of year, quality of ankle. When in doubt, go ahead and throw on a nice pair of dress socks.

It looks dumb and can't be comfortable. It's also gross.

This look is awful; however, I have a thing for ankles, so I'm torn.

The sockless or no-show socks look is unprofessional. I stopped going sickles except when I'm wearing sandals or topsiders with shorts in the summer. The sweat from your feet make the shoes musky and ruin them.

It's unhygienic and looks nasty. Socks help protect the feet from blisters, corns and other foot issues and also to extend the life of the shoes. Can you imagine the stink that accumulates in the foot bed - a doofus look without a doubt.

Chris Pine has been doing it for years now.

Yeah, and Pine is wearing loafers like a reasonable human being.

Your feet sweat! Why would you go sockless? It’s just dumb. Plus, if you go sockless enough, your feet sweat and moisture will cause you the inside sole of your shoe to tear out of the shoe.

if he was 22, AND had hairy ankles, I would vote OK. But maybe not at his venue.

I like it. It says, I'm a man baby

I was at a wedding in 2019 and so many of the WeHo gay guys had super slim trousers, Gucci loafers, and no socks — visible ankles were de rigeur. Interesting that it took six years to reach DC. In my doctor’s clinic all the men are still wearing those wacky colorful socks.
