Loose socks
Loose socks are a type of sock that is popular among young Japanese girls.
They are nearly always white and are very long. They are usually worn below the knee, and are held up with a special adhesive called "socks glue." They are similar in appearance to leg warmers, and are associated with junior high school and high school girls, who often wear loose socks with their school uniforms when they are not in school.
Loose socks have been in fashion since the late 1990s.
