    Hose and Flashes matching or not

    Got myself a pair of purple hose after seeing some on XMarks.

    So this is all my flashes with the hose on my tank.

    Pick what colours (not just one) you think will work with the purple hose.



    I am looking forward to your ideas.

    The tartan is MacLaren Ancient.

    Chris.

    I prefer the top colors. The lovat blue and bottle green especially...

    Re: Hose and Flashes matching or not

    the top row work with the kilt/hose combination; however what else is being worn with it? The flash might match the tie or pocket square or shirt or jacket and that could lead to choosing other options. If you had a bright blue shirt or yellow tie then I would choose either the bright blue or canary yellow from the bottom row. If you put a red silk pocket square in a charcoal jacket then I might use the red flash. Just ideas to expand the options.

    Peace
    Henry

    Chris
    I agree with all of the top row and the green on the second row.

    Incidently I love the purple hose. May I ask where you got them from?

    You'll spend all day at the computer if you're looking for kilt hose. Google "shooting socks" and you'll have more luck.

    Chris.

    thank you excellent links , more socks/hose than you can shake a stick at.

    only problem is that I now have too many to chose from.
