On the original question, though, I think the choice of argyle or diced hose would come down to personal preference for me.

The choice between castellated and fold over tops is easier. I'd say if you intend to wear these primarily for formal evening functions, go with castellated. If, on the other hand, you would like to wear them for both evening and day wear, go with the fold over tops.
