Why is it rude to wear tennis shoes with white sock to Ireland?
Planning a trip to Ireland and read that it is rude to wear tennis shoes and white socks really don't want to make anyone mad so if you know the reason or if this is really true let me know Please!!!
I think you have been misinformed. There is no reason why people would consider this rude, lots of people here in Ireland wear white socks with tennis shoes. The only places this might be a problem would be pubs and clubs who have a dress code in the evenings. These premises tend to have security staff at the doors. Enjoy yourself and wear what you feel comfortable in!

I lived in Ireland for 14 years,and I had never heard of any one think or say it was rude to wear whites socks with white tennis shoes(sneakers).Half the people I know who are Irish wear white socks when they wear tennis shoes(sneakers).
Hope you have a grand time while your there.

Just buy a bunch of grey socks and you'll be fine :)

I wouldn't consider it rude. At worst, someone might sneer at you. But I can't see that happening either, I think you'll be fine if that's what you wear. Personally, I find socks and sandals far more offensive!

It's not rude, it's just that Europeans don't wear white socks with tennis shoes unless they are actually playing a sport or exercising. Also, Americans tend to match their socks with their shoes, while other's tend to match their sock with their pants.
