Best OTC dress socks for <$25?

I've been searching around for sock recommendations, but most of the options that I've come across are either not over the calf (OTC) or only available in boring solid colors (black, navy, etc.).

I'm looking for quality OTC socks to wear with a navy suit that are (a) comfortable (preferably made from a natural fiber) and (b) navy but with a subtle hint of another color. These Fort Belvedere socks are exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't bring myself to spend $40+ on a single pair of socks.


Any recommendations? Where can I find comfortable OTC socks in interesting colors or patterns for less than $25?

I've been happy with my socks from Dapper Classics. They stay up and they're nice and thin for dress shoes. I also have a couple pairs of Bombas that are a bit thicker/more cushioned but still thinner than boot socks, and with good stretch.

I can also recommend the well reputed German sock and hosiery maker Falke, who offer - next to classic OTC socks - a large range of "happy socks" as well. Postage might be a little higher for US or overseas customers, but a group purchase can help reduce the cost impact. The fit true to shoe size, are very well made (I would confidently call them a luxury sock), stay up and last well. For the ladies, their hosiery is very good as well.
