What Color Socks Should You Wear With Brown Shoes?
The general rule of thumb is that your socks should match your pant color. For instance, black socks with black pants.
User @APAE", a private equity partner, makes a good point regarding sock selection:
APAE - Private Equity PartnerThe general rule is to either match your socks close enough to the pant that it looks like a unified band of color unbroken until the shoe or to tastefully depart far enough altogether.
You can see a picture of blue socks matched with a blue suit and brown pants pictured below.

navy or grey, always. Maybe brown, depending on the shade
what about grey argyle socks? or even grey + navy (multi colored) argile? or is that too wild for finance?

With walnut shoes like those pictured, I wear navy, gray, or patterned socks (argyle, stripes, or wilder a la Pantherella, Happy Feet, Etro Milano, etc.).
