    I'm not 100% convinced it would work-- my shooting socks have a different cuff than the leg, so perhaps I'm blinded by the fact that to me, at least, it would look like one was wearing shooting socks.

    That said, if it was subdued (which my shooting socks aren't), it would probably look okay-- the black with grey cuffs you mentioned sound as if they'd probably pass muster.

    Thanks, MacMillan of Rathdown.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
