Mixing patterns/textures and sock choices?

Fashion novice here.

I just bought a few suits, and have been doing a bit of mixing and matching to see what I have that works. One of the suits happens to dark brown, and I'm finding it very difficult to match with.

First, would would this look work? And, is the herringbone shirt too much texture? When I put this together, I thought that the blue color looks good, but I wasn't sure if the herringbone was too busy given that the suit is striped.

Second, I haven't been able to find a matching pair of socks. What colors should I be looking for when trying to match socks with a dark brown suit?

Any advice would be much appreciated!
