Black socks are dress socks. Trainers and shorts are casual. Looks dumb.

Wear white socks. Or nice sandals with your shorts.

My brother went to baseball practice today wearing a red shirt, silver shorts, bright green shoes and black socks.

Honestly, I just don't think he cares what he looks like and that might be a big part of it
