Over your shoulder whispering
My co-workers have a game of spotting when I've got actual dress socks or bike socks on at work.
I rode this morning before work and just left my Turner socks on. They're grey, but I forgot about the black stripe on the back, so they called me on it.

So, since it's probably casual Friday, I thought it would be cool to see who's rocking bike socks at work today. Shop employees can play too!

50/50. I work at home so a good portion of the time I don't really get dressed at all. Right now I'm on the living room couch in boxers and a fleece jacket. When I do go, which involves traveling to another state, we're casual so it's bike or running socks with jeans and a shirt or sweater.

I rock Wigwam socks for all occasions, even the for the job I don't have.
Ditto... that is about all I own.

Wigwam Ultimax mid's (or the "ironman" Tri version). I have 10 pairs of black and 6 pairs of white. More black bc I wear black for work AND biking, so they get used more often.

Ski socks today... if I wear socks it's either bike or ski socks, but I wear heels most days. Today I'm rockin' the cowgirl boots :)

Sport smartwools every day for every occasion. However my dress shoes are a little too tight for my regular socks. My dress socks are bike socks.

And speaking of socks, why aren't sock manufacturers designing cool socks anymore ? Most of them are black with a little bit of color. You used to be able to find some colorful cool designs, now it's just the land of bland.

Smartwools are my bike socks, dress socks, casual socks, hiking socks.
Good call there, but I am a fan of these one Nike ankle socks that I steal from my wife for the occasional ride or always on runs. Wait, the smart wools have also been stole from my wife. Cool thing is, once I steal em, she don't want em back!

Actually I have a few pairs of black Army issue wool socks I sometimes wear with dress shoes for interviews and court dates.
