For office wear and preppy wear, as in those photos, definitely "with".

However, I don't understand why someone would wear white socks with black loafer and black pants. Unless they're trying to look like a HS student. The socks should match. All the socks in the 1st 3 photos don't match. The men would look much better-dressed if the socks were the same color as the pants, or at least incorporated the pants color in their design. Those guys are trying to look well-dressed, and are blowing it with a poor choice of socks.

White socks are SO HS gym class!

It really depends on context. If you're wearing loafers for biz casual dress at the office, you better put on socks. You're at work, not a fashion show. If it's for date night or going out to clubs/wine bars, you can go sockless, but the hem on your trousers needs to be short enough so your ankles show (and with no break). It's a youthful modern look and if you're middle-aged or older it might not suit you.

These men probably work for professionals and I'm sure they know what they're doing.
