On the one hand, since they are more expensive than the solid hose I would be inclined to preserve/save them for more special (i.e. More formal) events. On the other hand, they are so nice looking I would want to wear them more often.

I happen to like the look of argyle/diced hose with smart daywear. So, "if" I had a pair, I would definitely wear them. You look great in them, so wear them!!
