I know this is ridiculous, but I can't actually wear socks that are high enough to tuck anything into. My calves are too big! I find the elastic digs in and cuts off circulation even if I fold them over, so I get the ones that stop just above the ankle bones for hiking.
That's why I was thinking of a harem pant idea. If I gather the pants to a tight band of jersey, then the jersey can be tucked into the shorter socks, thus covering my skin. Or even gaiters, because they can be snug around the ankle of a hiking boot, and they cover all the way to the knee. And I can make them to fit MY calves (I can't actually purchase gaiters either. Even Men's XXL is too small.). I just don't know if that's as effective as tucking pants in, which is why I was seeking more information.
