Dress socks. I hate them.
Man on the moon? Check.

Road car @ 233 miles per hour? Check.

Cloned sheep? Check.

Dress socks for men that stay up on your calf? Not so much.

5. Remember IBM Dress Code - Garters?
Don't you remember back when IBM and the other major employers required guys to wear garters just for this reason? Can you imagine having bought the companies first electric typewriters from a salesman who's sock were sagging? :wow:

10. Well, if you use the dress socks appropriately they will!
but black cotton athletics are just as good.

7. send 'em to Elliot Spitzer
;)

Dress socks for men should come with grips the way thigh-highs do for women. But then again, men have that pesky leg-hair issue that might make sticky rubber around the calf uncomfortable.

8. Although I am a female
I wear men's dress socks with pants rather than women's "trouser socks," because men's socks are better made.

I wear the over-the-calf ones that say they are "support" stockings. They are knee high. The elastic is very strong and they do not fall down. The ones I have now, I have had for over six years, and with all thoses wearings and launderings, they still stay up on my legs.

12. My Fiance got me a few pairs..
that stay put very well. They fit very well as well, almost as if they are fitted.

I will ask her what they are, and let you know.
