And they're not those support socks, either. I can tell the difference. They're regular cotton ones. Can they not stand the bunching? Was that fashionable in their day?

Since they can't control the wrinkling of their aging bodies, sock wrinkles are the only wrinkles they have any control over. It gives them a semblance of dignity...........

They are worried that their feet might fall off.
Naaaah. It's a blood circulation thing. If your sock is bunched, blood flow to the foot can be restricted. So, actually, I was right about the first bit in the end.

I cannot believe that you are worried about the way old people wear their socks. Is that number 1 on "Things I want to learn " list?

because they only like having their knees sunburned in the summer, when they're wearing shorts and their socks pulled up. Red knees are in this year- haven't you seen the latest issue of Cosmo, girl?!

I don't know but it's cute.
I did see a pair of socks that helped older people with arthritis that were up high. Maybe it's that or some sort of condition?
Why don't you ask? Also ask why they were suspenders with shorts for me.

Old people pull everything way up, socks and even pants.

So that they can get those cool tan lines. Having deathly white feet helps to show off their veins more.

I don't know what they are thinking. I wear short socks.

It used to be popular, and I guess some people find a style they like, and stay with it.
