Long Socks for Hot Weather

Hello! Does anyone have any long sock recommendations for hot weather? It’s already pushing past 80 here and I can’t wear my long socks anymore.

a couple brands make linen or linen/cotton socks they are usually crew-length not the most durable but very comfy

smartwool's lightweight merino socks are a good option; breathable but still moisture wicking and often on sale online or at sporting good stores

yes, they are expensive. I have the ones by NISHIGUCHI KUTSUSHITA, I know Rototo does them too, both are japanese brands. Just googling linen socks turns up some others, but they are all expensive.

this might be the plan. Are they called lightweight merino? the website confuses me That’s kind of a shame. I like the idea of linen socks
