Annoying new cultural manifestations department. July 17, 2022 2:50 pm ER

Have you noticed how lately it has become fashionable for otherwise conservatively and immaculately dressed and groomed men to wear outrageous, multicolored socks? I first noticed this a few years ago with George Herbert Walker Bush (after he left the Presidency) but is now popping up everywhere, even amongst those who should know better.

This is right up there with man-buns, a five o’clock shadow and brown shoes worn with gray suits.
