I usually use Soccer socks when I'm going to push them down and kilt hose when I'm going to wear my socks up with flashes. I have a couple of pair of kilt hose that had unfortunate experiences with dryers so I push those down sometimes too but since they're thicker and heavier I sometimes think they look like I should be hanging out with ballet dancers. When I wear my socks down I don't roll them though, just pushing them down and letting them bunch up randomly gives a more casual look and feels less restrictive.
