Kilts with short socks? How many people wear this way?

[Tobus]

I am most decidedly NOT a fan of the 'red shanks' look. The proportions are all wrong. So when I'm kilted, it's always going to be with traditional hose or some other apparatus that comes up over my calf. Some guys with meaty calves can pull it off, buy my bird legs just look wrong sticking out from under my kilt without any covering. The hose actually give my legs some substance, LOL.

But if you do decide to wear short socks with yer kilt, make sure to wear the ones with the fuzzy ball on the back, in a colour that matches the toorie on yer Balmoral!
