    yes, suppose you could be right, think i may get the kilt first, then see what 1 to pick from.

    thanks

    Colour of hose would depend on the colour your wearing on top(chest).
    Please let us know what type of event it is or isn't to make a more informed answer.
    Ie; black tie or just casual.

    Well that's a easy one then cream colour.
    This is quite a classic look.
    What are you doing about your flashes/garter ties?
    My advice would be to try to get those in tartan to match the kilt you've chosen.

    thanks for the reply

    i've got cream hose already, so thats a good thing.

    my flashes are to be made out of the same tartan as the kilt

    Also the thing to remember is to look in the hire shop windows and see how they put the outfit together.
    Anyway though I've seen this look many times, but still not a fan of the bow tie, but hey needs must !

    Black hose with the tartan flashes would also look very smart...
