Here's my issue with that combo, considering I actually like some of those socks (not the horizontal stripey ones; too gaudy for me. But some of the plaid patterned ones can be cool): When you sit down, dress pants tend to hike up a lot. I have the more classic dress pant hem, where the bottom stops at the back about an inch or two before the ground, right where the heel starts. And when I sit down, my socks are completely exposed.
So, if you're in a suit, downtown, and work in an office, I'm assuming you spend about 90% of your day sitting, either at your desk, a board room, or out for lunch with a client or something. So your fancy socks can be seen almost the whole day already! Why do you need to ensure for the other 5-10% of your day when you're actually walking around that we can all see them? Hell even when you take a stride in normal hemmed pants, you get little flashes of the socks already. Like have a little subtlety to your style, you don't need to beat us all over the head about it.
Whenever I see a dude downtown in that flood pant hem and those socks, I feel like they're saying "Look at my socks! Hey!...HEY! LOOK AT MY SOCKS!!" Jebus, ok fine, I'll look at your damn socks...yeah, rainbow stripes, that's dynamite. Pump the breaks a bit there bud.
