I'm just old-style.
(Link is to the Victoria and Albert Museum - they have a pair of 3rd to 5th century socks from Egypt. They note that the socks "were designed to be worn with sandals.") However, they're not knitted - they're made using an older technique often called "nalbinding," which I understand is extremely tedious.
Yes, I wear socks with my Birkenstocks in the winter sometimes. I figure that once you earn a Ph.D., you are permitted at least one thing that might be considered a fashion "violation" in some circles.

The socks you make deserve to be shown off. White athletic socks with sandals is still a no-no. ;-)
