Come now, Graham! Surely we do not dress according to the number of people we might meet? We should always strive to look our best!!

Off-white hose? Oh no. Impractical and too formal. Considering the colour of your sweater, oatmeal would be perfect, as it is for almost any tartan (or plain) kilt in almost any circumstance, other than formal events. I stock up with oatmeal hose every time I visit Edinburgh, and I reckon I probably wear that colour 99% of the time with virtually any of my kilts.
