Argyle hose and day wear?

[TheOfficialBren]

I have to concur with Piperdbh. I would reserve them for dressier occasions (though not necessarily strictly black- or white-tie events), though certainly leaning towrd formal almost exclusively. The are expensive. Seriously. Very expensive. Average price: $100......for socks. Madness. I don't fuss much over hose, though, as long as they keep my feet warm (when applicable) and dry.

Edited to add:

Just to clarify, I prefer solid-coloured most of the time but I do really like Argyll hose.
