I need Christmas assistance!
Are these heinous? For a lawyer who wears conservative suits but loves crazy socks:

As a lawyer, I am not sure I should heed the call to "gentlemen," but my take is that they are quite conservative. While shoes are on, the "Duke" will not show, and only solid blue will show above the ankle unless legs are crossed in view of others. They are poorly designed, as the first message to be revealed will be "Durham, N.C."
The color makes it difficult to wear with many suits other than grey.
Not too shabby. I'll send you my address via PM...
I think they'd work with gray or navy suits.

I refuse to wear solid socks of any color at any time. Like, I exercise in argyles. And these are not heinous at all; in fact, I'd agree with BD80's assertion that they're both rather tame and poorly designed.

Despite receiving a super excellent thumbs up message, I'm still kind of meh.
Perhaps it's time for me to emulate the dopey kardashian brother and begin designing socks.

I vote a "no" on expecting him to wear them (1)
But vote a "yes" on the socks being a decent gift (2)
1: not a suitable color nor a particularly fashionable layout
2: unique sock and shows that you were thinking about that person in particular when buying the gift
The real reason I'm in this thread, though, is because the title led me to believe that you were auditioning members to make a special calendar
I wear wild socks as often as I can (not a lawyer).
Guessing these should be fine and will really just come across as a bold blue sock.
I wouldn't wear them to work, but would thank Mrs. OPK for the thoughtful gift.
But socks are not a "thing" with me so I may be the wrong one to ask.
