I'm a big fan of livening up a conservative suit with colourful socks. I particularly love my Paul Smith ones, which come in all kinds of stripes, patterns and colours. Interesting.

I particularly like to buy cotton ones that are two-tone (heel and toe are in contrast color from rest of the sock and very cheerful) for my husband every Christmas. They also have a beautiful sport sock that appears to be wool (maybe not really as that might be itchy??) with a fleck in it of different colors--great for chilly weather/fall and winter wardrobes and alongside jeans and corduroys. I tend not to buy his dress socks there, as they are expensive, and there is nothing particularly special about dark blue/brown/black men's dress socks.

I particularly liked your warning to wear "serious" socks for serious occasions, and your advice against the deadly-dull black sock except for with a tuxedo. If, for whatever reason, you must wear shorter (i.e., mid-calf) socks, invest in, and use, sock garters. They are not as comfortable as over-the-calf socks, but they keep your socks up, which is more than worth whatever minor discomfort they may otherwise engender. All good ideas.
