Ladies and gents;

Having only worn those nasty bifurcated garments for the most of 32 years, and only sports kilts for the last three, I have a question about accessorizing(? Mercenary, not spelling teacher) What color socks does one wear with a traditional kilt? With pants (yuck) my wife always tells me, your socks should be a shade lighter or shade darker... I would assume that if the tarten is predominently red you would wear maroon socks or light red socks, or if the strongest color in the tarten is green, I would wear olive or khaki socks.... and If I dont like white socks with flashes and black shoes, am I a bad bad man? Ok, I know I am a bad bad man, but I mean for not wearing proper socks? Also, I enjoy a bit of a grunge look unless I am going out with my very patient wife. I like a long sleeved shirt, unbuttoned, and hanging outside the sport kilt. Can I get away with that with a Traditional kilt?
