Why do tourists wear black socks with sandals?

I was having lunch outdoors today at a really nice cafe here in Delray Beach. I must have seen 4 people wearing socks with sandals.... %26lt; shakes head %26gt;

Why do tourists wear black socks with sandals?
They're from a state where they don't wear sandals, and are used to wearing socks... so... they wear socks, not aware that people are so concerned with what looks good and what doesn't. They just never cared as much about looks as others do.





I lived in a colder climate once, (not for long.) and the people would dress for warmth, not style. Trench coats, boots and scarves... whatever was on under it was layers and layers of stuff that couldn't possibly be stylish. It was for the weather, not the looks. Those people who grow up in the colder climates might possibly be haunted by their lack of fashion skills.... maybe..... It's a theory.

Reply:LOL---I only do that at home.....
Reply:Their feet are cold, and yet sandals get dirty, so instead of wearing light socks, they wear dark socks to absorb the dirt.

He was wearing a short sleeved pink striped shirt with plaid shorts, and, you guessed it - sandals with black knee-high socks. Guess who it was?
