Boots and Socks
I have a great pair of Mil-Spec all weather boots that I wear for casual dress, but I'm not sure what sort of socks to wear. Black is about all I know. Should the socks come up some over the boot, or should they truncate with the boot, leaving my sexy legs more visible :-D

I wear a pair of black steel-toe boots with white/black socks (doesnt really matter to me), but the socks do stop where the boot stops. You might be able to see the socks a little but not really.

right now I have on a pair of maroon socks rolled and pushed down to the top of the boots I'm wearing (brown Herman Suvivors). After retiring from the military I try to stay away from just plain white or black socks as much as I can. Go with what ever you want but I recommend keeping it in co-ordination with the kilt you are wearing.

I tend to go with kilt hose with a traditional kilt if I'm wearing boots. Especially if I'm wearing my black Docs. They look more proportionate if the socks are up @ the knees. I know that Hamish might think I'm strange, but I just don't like the look of rolled down socks with boots and a kilt. Maybe with shorts, but not a kilt.

I'm a rather short fella (165cm or 5'5") so wearing tall boots are outta the question-don't wanna shorten me legs any more-but those Blundstones are looking pretty good.
