Well hey, if that's his style, and he can find the confidence to "own" it, the right kind of girl will appreciate him for it.
(As long as it's not too outlandish of a sock combo, ha)

Yeah, I've definitely noticed that people respond well to unusual styles as long as you wear it with confidence. For example, I sometimes wear a pocket watch when I dress up. It's not in vogue or anything, but I think they're cool and I don't really care whether or not anyone else does. The funny thing is, I've had multiple people tell me that they appreciate my pocket watch thing. I think maybe people are attracted to authenticity, when someone has the confidence to do their own thing for their own sake rather than worrying about others' opinions.
A pocket watch is the ideal level of eccentricity. A monocle would be too much.
As adults that is true, but in high school perceived peer pressure is important and so most kids act like their peers. (there are a number of different groups in most schools and they are not a like, but you pick yours and belong to it)
It's true as a kid too, it's just that a lot of kids haven't learned the lesson yet. One of the most important lessons you can learn when you're young is to disregard peer pressure.
