Tartan ball hose that look great with Muted MacDonald of Glencoe

[The Wizard of BC]

The reason you see the caution about white is that you seem to see white hose all over the web. But white is so overdone that if you go to a wedding and see the guy in front with white hose you immediately know he rented his kilt.

Can you wear white? Of course you can. But do so as a conscious decision because it looks better with the outfit, not because some website led you to believe that it is more 'proper'.

Today most people use darker colors for formal occasions. I personally wear charcoal grey for formal and I think it looks classy and elegant. Less costume looking.

Can you wear diced hose? Well, sure you can. But really, how deep are your pockets? Can you afford $140.00 for a pair of socks?

And try to think outside of the box that says the hose color should be based on the colors of the Tartan. There are so many great colors. What color shirt are you going to wear? What color tie? Why not coordinate your hose color with those and let the Tartan be the centerpiece of the outfit. We want people to see the kilt as our centerpiece. Let it stand on its own. It can do it, I promise.
