And I mean the Japanese fashion subculture version.

Not unless you wear them with Mary janes and a frilly mini skirt. I think they'd be fun worn the way they're meant to be, with boots.

I have some Pom Pom knee socks. I've worn them mostly with tall boots and jeans.

Yes I think this is an apt description -- they are sort of gothic lolita

Haha. I love those! I'd wear them. They *are* girlish, though.

Lolita-influenced? Probably a little. TOO Lolita? I don't think so. I think they could definitely be styled in more of a Nordic/ski bunny/sporty way.

But yes, don't pair them with any Tulle-encrusted Betsey Johnson dresses any time soon.

I think they are cute. Their vibe will depend on what you pair them with.

Yes. Too Gothic Lolita. They will be infantilizing no matter what you pair them with, IMO.

Hm, I'm with Rae. Def. has that vibe, but could possibly be worn in a way that made it less overt.

They are definitely in sync with your style, Annagybe. You could pull them off - so to speak!:) - if you wear them simply, like Rae said - nordic/folk/sporty. Do post pics! Below is Cheryl Lloyd in 2010.

The yellow ones below are Vivienne Westwood (2010 I think)- no pom poms, but the tribal look is a workable styling idea.

Or, you could echo the white pompoms with big white polkadots up top, if you are feeling in a Gwen Stefani mod mood:

I know you are edgy and like a bit of risk, but those look childish and will infantilize you A LOT. I don't think anyone over 20 can wear those and look serious and reliable, if that majes any sense?

I like the idea of socks under boots, and I have a pair myself, but I would have them without pompons and other super cute embellishments (and I'm a lover of girly stuff, but those are just too much). The idea of long socks under boots is juvenile enough.

I'm with Rae --- they shouldn't be too girly if styled sporty. Just avoid frills, gathered full skirts, and possibly Christmas red (the sexy Santa's helper vibe). Could even look heavily ironic with a sculptural-looking leather jacket

Probably because i really love them.

Maybe you could pair them with a cat ear headband

....oh wait, is that not what we're going for?
