Assuming yours is a serious question (no offence), those are obviously and most definitely athletic socks. Dress socks would be longer, made from a thinner and soother material and would definitely not have a logo on the (not to be confused with a pattern, which would be fine).

Not dress socks. Not even close.

I don't think whether or not there's a logo would be important. Here however, due to the ribbed upper part of the sock one could identify it as a athletic pair of socks.
Don't use them with a suit. It's makes you look cheap.

Can they pass for dress socks? They are kinda thin, isn't the difference between a dress sock and a sports sock is the thickness?Originally Posted by iroh
i'll echo the previous responses and put it bluntly...they are not dress socks and cannot and will not pass as such...

If you consider these dress socks, and had to inquire about it on the Internet, than they're the least of your worries.
