Can I wear my brown/mocha AEs with blue jeans? If so, what would the acceptable sock colors be?

Thanks!

Splurge on pretty much anything.. you can go with the wild "go to hell" sock look.

Either exciting colours argyles etc. (although I personally can't stand argyle)that reference something else you are wearing, or if you want to tone it down a blue or (so I have heard) dark grey sock will not stand out.
I find lighter navy socks are pretty much the same colour as dark unwashed blue denim, if you look around you should be able to find some blue that match your jeans.

Argyle cotton socks are the best "connector" between jeans and dress shoes IMO

Argyles are my choice with any casual pant.

Anything at all, so long as it ties in at least a little bit with the overall tone/colors/patterns you're wearing. Or something that willfully does not. Go wild. Or not. Just please don't wear white socks.

My preferred socks are a blue and brown argyle pattern which picks up the brown of my shoes and the blue of my denim.
