No matter how cold it is, my daughter will NEVER wear socks with ballet flats regardless of what pants she has on. She will wear socks and boots with leggings. I don't wear socks with baller flats, either. But depending on how cold it is, I may not wear ballet flats.

Mine wore socks if she wanted to, didn't if she didn't want to. Sometimes she wore them with leggings, sometimes not. Sometimes she wore them with ballet flats, sometimes not. Sometimes she wore socks, leggings, and ballet flats all at the same time.
I really didn't care one way or the other.

BTW, I assume you are referring to causal wear and not dance wear.
The shoes ballet dancers wear are ballet slippers, not ballet flats. Socks with ballet slippers would make for some very clumsy dancing.
Ballet flats are a casual shoe for everyday wear.
Likewise, the leg coverings ballet dancers wear are called tights, not leggings. Tights are basically heavy-duty pantyhose. Socks over them, then feet stuffed into ballet slippers would be very uncomfortable.

No. Leggings are something the kids wear mostly when it get cold so they often wear socks and boots. Leggings are to keep their legs warmer and are worn mostly under long long tops or dresses.

If they wear thin leggings in summer time, fall, early spring, etc....they wear them with skinny sorts of shoes, where a lot of skin shows. So flip flops, sandals, ballet slippers, and stuff like that. They don't wear socks with ballet shoes period. Ballet flats are a summer sort of shoe. Not for cold weather so skin would be showing. Winter/cold weather would be socks and high boots or hightops to cover and warm the ankles.

If by leggings, you mean the ones without feet, yes my girls wore socks. The only time they did not wear socks is when they wore tights, or had sandals on.

I do have one son however that used to wear socks WITH sandals. Nerdy I know. Hoping he has outgrown that by now! I will ask him at Thanksgiving.

Depends on the weather. My DD is almost 17 so I don't really pay attention to her clothes (other than to make sure they're not too tight/short etc.). I see the younger girls wearing socks if it's cold out, no socks if it's warm.

My girls wear the no show socks that hit below the ankle. Usually they will wear a color similar to the shoe. They prefer to have their feet warm vs freezing for fashion.

You can get the socks that just cover the toes and heel. They will hardly be seen in the ballet flats. That's what I would do in the cold weather.

Depends. To school? Yes, because I didn't want her barefoot in her indoor running shoes all day. Out otherwise? Not usually; if it's warm enough for ballet flats, it's warm enough to go without socks.
