Best hose for gardening?

[Bugbear]

I like to wear thick-soled hiking sox.

Ya, that's kind of what I'm using, and they're knee high. I've also scrunched them down at times. That seems to be what works for me during these cooler months. I'll still go back to my sandals in the summer.

I don't know, I just don't dress in a formal way very often.
