Finding Socks with the Right Length

I'm having trouble finding socks that suit me. Over the calf socks are too warm and don't allow my trousers to fall when I move from sitting to standing. Ankle socks are a little too dandy for my workplace. And athletic socks are.... athletic socks.

To compound the issue, my calves are quite large and ankles are quite thin. This bodes well for swimsuits but not so much for business attire.

I'm trying to find socks that hit about four inches above the ankle so no skin shows when I am seated, but allow the bottom of my trousers to fall.

Any suggestions?
