Question | My daughter is 19 and told me recently that I am wearing the wrong socks. I did not know this was possible. Apparently, wearing ankle socks (like I do when I go to the gym or for a run) is not cool, and I am absolutely committing a fashion faux pas when I do this. Is she right, or am I? Or is something else afoot here? – Ankle Biter
