OTC or No Show - why only swim half way? Cotton for summer, fine wool for fall/winter/spring, cashmere if you can afford it (fall/winter), and silk for formal.
I mean, I kinda agree with the snobs on this one, Brian. I like the sockless look, no-shows, and obviously athletic socks for athletic wear, but wearing crew socks or other non OTC socks with suits just seems silly to me.
If one is wearing shorts, I firmly believe socks should be pushed all the way down to the ankles, over-the-calf length or otherwise. This applies to colored socks or white. With trousers I don't see that it matters as long as the socks are comfortable. In that case I'd want the socks to be long enough to hide skin when you sit down.
What are some things menswear snobs say? Let's make a list!

No fake button holes on your jacket!
No watch with a tuxedo.
Button fly trousers only............horn buttons...hand sewn button holes ;-)
You should really invest in bespoke

Bow tie or no tie.
I like your tie and matching pocket square (said with an abundance of sarcasm) lol
“I dunno, these don’t look like mother-of-pearl buttons.”
Always match your leathers! Own 200 pairs of shoes, belts, and watch straps in every conceivable shade and color!

Excuse me, Sir...the dimple on your tie is 5 mm off-center.
Never wear brown in town still applies!
I like the color of your bow tie. Ohhhhh, pre-tied. Umm, yeah - no.
Alterations seamstress at the dry cleaner: "Do you want cuffs, sir?"
Menswear Snob: "Yes, one and five-eighths inch TURN-UPS, please."
Ummmmmm, they're called "BRACES."
You still wear belts?
Are these the only choices for linings?
“Wait, *you’re* wearing your Rubinacci gurkhas? That’s so funny — *I’m* wearing my Rubinacci gurkhas!”
Your clothes have to be 100% natural material. If you even got 1 or 2% of stretchy material it’s trash.
Orphaned suit jacket? Better throw that away.
Don't wear white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day.
You can't wear loafers in the winter!!
How many centimeters so you cuff, 'bro?
