11 u/Shrek_from_the_Hag Feb 15 '22 It‘s the opposite, us Germans are commonly known for walking around in sandals with socks on. The average German was meant to be the woman a fellow German 2 u/purpurne Feb 16 '22 Well, I always put on socks before my sandals. Why not? 4 u/skarn86 Feb 16 '22 Well, it's generally considered to be ugly, but absolutely common in Germany (or math departments). Particularly with white sport socks. Like anything that has to do with clothing conventions and fashion, there isn't a reason. It just is. I live in Germany and I seriously see ~20% of my colleagues go around the office in Birkenstock and white socks. 1 u/Wremxi Feb 18 '22 Nothing beats Birkenstock, bit I rather wear them with dark socks. White Socks just dirty really fast.
