This current colorful socks trend and high socks with shorts. Looks so stupid but I'm old, I guess. For me socks are part of the attire that are not to be noticed. These days people clearly wear crazy socks for flair.
This doesn't concern skating only but what's up with tucking your ears in your baseballcap? That makes you automatically look like a person. Or a 6 year old with a hat that's too big.
