Choose a trouser sock in a neutral tone with a subtle design for your pant suit.
DO NOT wear bright colored trouser socks with your pant suit.
When you wear pant suits and flat shoes, like loafers, etc. there are many options for your trouser socks and knee highs. You can wear socks in neutral colors that have subtle patterns or designs on them. This gives an individual touch to a woman’s business suit. It’s sort of like viewing the sock as an accessory. If you wear trouser socks or knee highs in a color, it should be the same color and hue as either the slacks or the shoes. Never wear socks in a contrasting, bright color with your business suit - that breaks up your leg into three segments – and also it draws attention in a unnecessary way. The idea is to add something subtle to your business attire that makes your look more individual. For short women, it could give the optical illusion of having a longer leg if the socks or nylons are the same color as the pants. You can also wear textures socks or knee highs with pumps and high heels if the sock is about as thin as a nylon.
A tip: Before I throw my socks in the washer, I fasten the pairs together with a safety pin. That solves the problem of ending up with ONE stylish sock whose mate is missing.
I have been shopping around for guys suits and formal wear for work. I find it intertesting that you say don’t wear bright colour sox. I’m not sure if it’s the same for guys, espcially if you work in a creative environment.

A mesh lingerie bag also does a great job of keeping fancy pairs of sock together with no chance of pulling or snagging.
