Over the calf socks- pants go up but won't go down!

I'm a big fan of over the calf socks (currently appreciating a collection of VK Nagrani socks). However, I notice that when I sit down, my pant legs ride up as they are suppose to do but they don't come back down. I wear formal wear to work and the style of my pants keep getting slimmer. I'm slender and I can even pull off the "no-sock" Canali look, but I really like my socks.

Is my only alternative to wear socks that are not over the calf? How have some of you addressed this problem?

Thanks,

Kev

Fully lined trousers (or very "hard" and smooth trouser fabrics) would solve that problem. Or, as you know, wider trouser legs.

There used to be a product that you could spray on a piece of clothing that would solve that program. But for I just stand up and adjust the trousers either but moving my foot or pulling the trouser from the crease. good like in your quest

Wear fully lined trousers and your problem will be solved.
