Ankle socks are the latest fashion item to be cancelled by Gen Z. What’s a Millennial to do?
Ankle socks are the latest fashion item Millennials are making the mistake of wearing, according to Gen Z. TikToks and Instagram Reels have been popping from outraged Millennials and exasperated Zoomers weighing in on the distinctive generational foot gap. Apparently, no matter how good your skin is, ankle socks are a dead giveaway you’re over 30.Getty
In the 2000s, crew socks were only ever worn by your parents or PE teacher. If you had so much as a millimetre of sock peeping out over your shoe, you were relentlessly and viciously ridiculed. There was a time you couldn’t go a week without a headline declaring how upstart Millennials were ruining something Boomers held dear. In fact, it was only recently the word “Millennial” stopped being synonymous with youth.
When I stepped out of the house recently with my mum leggings dutifully tucked into my candy pink crew socks it felt somewhat freeing. A thrill ran through me at the idea that if a Gen Z spared me a glance, they’d clearly see I was not some out-of-touch Millennial.Unless, of course, they’d also been following the online sock discourse, and would know that I had only updated my sock habits out of sheer desperation to be seen as cool by them.
