i'm doing a piece for my schools satire mag,
and tube socks are part of my subject.
they are quite repulsive and i was just curious as to what time period they were in style, and for how long. (My theory is in the 70's, for about 2 minutes.)

I am a fashion researcher, and I did a story on tube socks a few years ago. Tube socks were invented in the 1800's, but didn't really come into the American fashion world untilI the late 70's. I would say tube socks today reflect the trends of the 80's, however, I do not recall tube socks really being in style back then. Originating from sport clothing, tube socks became popular because of their sporty, and later quirky kind of vibe. Today they are a fashion no-no unless you play soccer or some other sport requiring you to wear those digusto (yes I mean disgusto) foot fashions. Often times people who have a daring punk style wear tube socks, but recently knee-length tights have taken the place of tube socks in high school fashion. I suppose you could wear tube socks if you have really weird style, but in my opinion I find them quite repulsive and nasty.
But that's just me.
I know I am fabulous!

Absolutely, I wore them as a kid. The best ones had colored stripes near the top. (Red and Blue were best)

Maybe. They never were to me. But to each is own.
