In this day and age, appearance cannot always be a benchmark for guessing age. A person can be older or younger than their actual age because of the style applied. But a viral theory is said to be able to easily differentiate between millennials and generation Z. The way to do this is by looking at your feet.

This is Phoebe Parsons, a millennial podcaster who claims to know how to easily guess a woman’s age or at least generation. In a viral video, he said this could be easily differentiated just by looking at the feet, specifically the socks.

“Gen Z in particular wears their socks all the way up and millennials still wear socks all the way up to their ankles,” he said.

The woman who is also a pilates and barre instructor immediately showed proof. He himself wears short socks so that they are not visible when wearing shoes.

Meanwhile, according to him, younger people or generation Z choose tube sock socks that are longer at the calf length so they are more visible. This is because since 2020, wearing shoes with long socks has become a trend since the pandemic.

Even though it is a trend, in the comments column netizens say that wearing long socks still needs to be adjusted to the shape of the feet. “As someone with short legs, hidden undershirts are better for creating the impression of longer legs,”

“Long socks remind me of when my mother dressed me up as a child. It makes me feel like a child,” “If they were ever bullied because a t-shirt looked even a little bit, they (gen Z) wouldn’t dare,” “Me as a millennial wouldn’t show a t-shirt my feet,” wrote a netizen.

Each generation has its own way of expressing their fashion style. Recently, Gen Z has returned to early 2000s trends that millennials may not approve of, such as unbuttoned trousers, visible bras, jorts, including calf socks.
