Why do people say men shouldn't wear socks when on native attire? Of course I mean with cover shoes and not Palm sandals.

Frankly I find the wearing of shoes without socks disgusting and irritable.

Is there any explanation or justification for this rule?

'people' are not always right even in the majority. same goes for tucking in on jeans which to me with a nice t-shirt looks smart. fashion, culture change with the times. in the past, there were no socks so it was not added to the getup.

I actually do it all the time. I don't think anyone has given me an odd look before. That's not to say I would wear blue or red or sports socks. I am talking black or grey.
