Now a word about proper sock length.
Watching a clip Sunday of Barack Obama on "This Week With George Stephanopoulos," I was struck by the fashion no-no displayed by the president. Sitting with his legs crossed, Obama showed viewers several inches of bare skin where his pants leg did not meet the top of his socks.
It is inexcusable, it’s a fashion faux pas, especially considering his wife’s keen fashion sense, that the commander-in-chief of the United States does not wear knee-high socks when he is dressed up.
Indeed, anyone, anyone who is in politics, in business or in any way in a public situation, should wear knee-high socks. There is nothing appealing or sexy about seeing a man’s shin-bone skin.
Bottom line—if you’re going to wear socks, make sure they cover all of your lower leg.
Here's hoping someone in the White House reads this before Obama's appearance on Letterman tonight.

For 60 years I wore socks every day, regardless of season, through school, vacations, and career. Now 75 and retired for 15 years, socks are not a compulsory part of my daily attire. No Socks Needed Anymore is a journal of life before and after retirement, plus views on news, sports, politics, business and anything else that interests me.
