    Diced hose versus unmatched tartan hose for formal

    Recently, I was picking out my outfit for a Burns Supper. I was going in black tie and chose to wear my bias cut waistcoat and kilt in the MacDonald of Clanranald ancient tartan.

    Whilst I have tartan hose, they are colour matched to my Clanranald modern tartan. I also have a pair of red and green diced hose.

    For the traditionalists among you:

    If you had to choose between these options what would you say is most correct from a traditional perspective? Non matching diced hose or tartan hose in a different colour way (modern vs. ancient).

    Obviously, matched tartan hose would be ideal and solid colour hose would also be acceptable but I'm not asking about those. This is what I chose (second from left):



    Cheers,
