Ever since i was young i have refused to wear maching socks. Whenever i have tried it just feels wrong. Do you all have a similair "clothes quirk"?

Ps. Funnily enough it has nothing to do with texture. Specifically on my feet I do not mind texture fore some reason.¯_(ツ)_/¯

Everything has to be stretchy, or so loose as to never restrict movement. This naturally means my clothing is a softer texture as well, so lovely bonus.

No necklines that touch my neck. I can do v neck and tank tops, but not crew or turtle neck. Similarly, pants have to flare from knee down, no skinny or boot cut, and shirt sleeves have to be loose everywhere but the wrist.

Socks have to be knee socks. Can’t stand any other kind. They have to have the same overall feel, but can be different colors and stuff. However I only wear socks and shoes when I absolutely have to. I strongly prefer being barefoot (even in snow for short periods like getting the mail), or wearing flip flops if I won’t lose toes to cold.
