Good over-the-calf dress socks?
Looking for reasonably priced (under $20 per pair, more if they can't be gotten for that cheap) over-the-calf socks in a variety of solid colors (blue, burgundy, brown, lavender, etc., without patterns). Wool blends are preferable. Where are people getting these?

Not wool but muji and uniqlo socks were my go to for a while.
Darn tough (wool) occasionally has solid colored socks under $20 on sale but usually have patterns or are in black.
Bombas has merino wool blend socks in colors & packs that come out to ~$21/pair, can’t vouch but have heard good things.
This may have useful resources / I’m sure there are other threads out there https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/yfxa6n/wool_socks_on_the_cheap_test/
These are sometimes on sale in that range, also not wool iirc, either on their site or ssense or afura around $20/pair https://www.socksss.com/shop and are pretty great.
I'll have a look at these, thanks!
Wigwam for Allen Edmonds
Dapper classics (has more colors)
These are dress socks btw
Darn tough seconds can possibly be found at tj Maxx or Marshalls for much less
You're in the US?
Yep. And I'll def check those out, thank you
The Allen Edmonds ones get discounted quite a lot and dapper classics has a multiple sock discount as well as sales
The Allen Edmonds wigwam socks I have personal experience with and they're quite warm. Only downside is they fuzz up
I also have a pair from a European brand but I don't think the shipping makes sense unless it's part of a larger order
i don‘t think uniqlo or muji usually sell over the calf socks; their regular socks are all mid calf socks
For the record, I tried a pair from Boardroom Socks, which fit the bill on paper. They're a bit thin, but we'll see how they hold up. I will wait for a sale on the many good suggestions in this thread.
