Trousers should always have a break, even if you like them a bit shorter. There should still be a slight break on the shoe, after all you don't want to end up looking like Pee Wee Herman.

I like Vox's term: a shiver of break.

For me this means no OTC socks. OTCs catch all my trousers leaving them much to short and spoiling the lines somewhat. Unfortunately I discovered this retrospectively. Thankfully I only wasted ~$50 or so on Gold Toe OTCs. I've ordered some smartwool mid calfs, fingers crossed they stay up.

My Pantherella's are fairly thin I must admit, bought for our climate I guess. I may do some thicker pure cashmere ones for next winter but they wouldn't be everyday socks. Anyway to the point of mid-calves staying up, they don't/wont. Mid calf socks will all eventually fall down during the day. Just gravity playing it's part really. It may not be an issue with small calves/skinny legs, but years of cycling put that to bed for me. I see pulling my socks up every now and then just as one of those things you do in private during the day (along with fixing your tie and pocket square).
