I was reading an article yesterday that listed the attributes that, when you're traveling in a foreign country, broadcast to the natives that you're an American, and one of the items listed is "wearing white socks". Now, you have to understand, I have no fashion sense no matter what country I'm in, including my own, so I have no idea and I have to ask: what color socks are you supposed to wear?

Please enlighten me, so that I can endeavor to not be so damned American when I'm traveling abroad. There's nothing I can do about my accent, but I can certainly try to make my footwear fit in.

I wear white socks all the time with my jeans and shoes. Somehow, I know enough that when I have wear black pants (which I have to do for band concerts), I should wear black socks. Or I wear boots so that no one can see my socks. :D

Last concert, we had to wear black pants, socks, and shoes, and the guy next to me was wearing olive pants, light gray socks, and brown shoes. My section leader leaned over and asked me, "What part of black pants, black socks, and black shoes doesn't he get?"
