It depends on your height and frame/build, when it comes to the no show socks vs long socks NT debate. Long socks looks clownish and crazy on me, in comparison to how they look on certain individuals I've seen online wearing them.
Ever since NT has had this debate, I've always analyzed how certain socks look on people. It really depends on how your physically built in my opinion. I wear low cut ankle socks, that are somewhat barely visible behind the tongue with these, and it looks good on me. It depends on your ankle size and leg length in my opinion as well.
This debate is the same as the everybody can wear the same fit arguments too. NO, everybody can't wear the same thing in my opinion, because everybody is built different. You can try to wear the same thing as a fit tall model, but that doesn't mean that it's going to look the same on YOU, as it does on the model. Certain people are out here looking crazy, because someone has told them that they can wear anything that made out here lol.
This goes back to the online comment, wear what makes you happy, NO,PE, wear what looks good on you. This is the equivalent to short big people wearing oversized baggy jeans. It's not a good look lol, but nobody can tell someone what to wear, but it doesn't mean that it looks good just because someone chooses to wear anything that they want to wear.
