Yes, this is really a thread about ankles.
I tried to stay awake in a boring business meeting today, so my gaze drifted to floor level. I got an eyeful.
What’s appropriate for a conservative office setting?
Socks? No socks?
Anklets? The kumbaya macramé kind? The sexy gold ankle bracelet?
Tattoos?
I’m old school but I don’t like to see ankles or legs under business pants. Skirts - different story, obviously.
Nothing sadder than saggy old socks.

lol…reminds me of my old puka shell days.
Definitely socks for men. Although the socks can either be conservative or crazy colorful and wild.
I prefer dresses and skirts over pants probably at least 80% of the time at work. But if I’m wearing pants of any kind I they will likely be cropped - and you will see my ankle or I’ll have socks but with a bootie or boots so you wouldn’t see my ankle anyway! No jewelry or tatoos on mine. 
Yay, abasket! I am another skirt/dress gal out here. Like cropped pants, too, so no socks with those (footies fully hidden in the shoe), no tats, no ankle bangles. Mr.'s socks get inspected every laundry cycle, and the ones that look like they are going to sag soon get culled. He finally learned that socks should match pant color and is super good at doing it! He even flips his reversible belt when he wears brown shoes.
A trend among men is more colorful socks with casual pants. I like it. My wife has a thing for weird socks so I have a bunch.
I wear quarter ankle socks most of the time now. My calves have always been (even when I was in shape in HS) much larger than average. Regular socks either cut off my circulation or stretch out and become useless. I found some that are appropriately colored for the wardrobe (black, brown, tan). I have a pair of ‘wild’ socks that I actually received from a partner team within my company. Whether I am wearing professional slacks or blue jeans, the socks are pretty much the same.
I guess if seeing an ankle on a woman is appropriate, seeing a wee bit of my leg above my sock in the odd event that I happen to cross my legs in a meeting is just fine, too.
Colorful socks and ties = male plumage
Got Cankles?!
DS is a colorful sock guy. I’m still working with DH and getting the right color socks and belt without fussing.
I have no ankles :((
I’m planning to get a tattoo around one of mine. H will likely be livid.
I have a certain person who thinks she is soooo stylish at work. Um, if you have no ankles DO NOT wear those high strapped sandals that terminate in your wide zone. Just sayin’
Just to be clear, I do not work with dragonmom.
Saintfan, I nearly gagged on my sip of wine! Thanks for the laugh!

@sylvan8798 I think it should say your self-worth. 
Lol, I don’t either. In fact, I have very nice ankles, if I do say so myself.
Mine are nothing to write home about but I know better than to feature them. Gladiator sandals are not my best look.
