Hose color question with tartan matching flashes

[Mike_Oettle]

Graham of Menteith gives you some interesting possibilities for colour combinations because, in addition to the black, green and blue of Black Watch, it also has light blue.
You can go matchy or contrasting. And you could wear different colours of hose with it depending on whether you are dressing formally or for knocking about in the countryside.
For formal wear, you could have black, charcoal, claret, scarlet, blue (dark or light).
As Jock Scot says, you don’t have to have flashes or hose ties, but they could be contrasting, too – in fact, light blue would go well with any of those (apart from a light blue pair of hose).
For very informal wear you could look at a whole range of browns, from light khaki to a rich dark brown. Again, flashes/ties are not compulsory, but you could incorporate contrast there as well.
The possibilities are infinite.
Regards,
Mike

PS: I forgot to add: wear a flat cap if you like, but on more formal occasions a bonnet would be better. I wear an army-style tam-o’shanter, but a balmoral would be just as good. You can get one that looks like a beret (with a tourie on top, though), or one with a diced band (not my preference).
The glengarry does not appeal to me either, but you could have a look at then.
For full dress evening occasions headgear is not required.
