If you can find them, solid colored acryllic soccer (UK-football) hose work well. These have to be ribbed, to hold the shin guards in place. Some of the colors are very nice (I've found colors very close to Lovat green and Lovat blue) and some are . . . But they are cool in hot weather and look very nice. And they're long enough to support a three-thickness turn down, a good three fingers wide. The only question I've ever been asked about them was "Where can I get some of those?"
