Diced hose

If that is what you want to wear then do so. However you will look, at the very least, rather theatrical.

British understatement my dear chap, remember the British understatement!

Here are two pages from MacKinnon's book "Tartans and Highland Dress" - a very good book in any case - where he gives a statement.
A dress occasion - which can also happen in day time - requires dress hose...simple.
Maybe not common today but correct.
(By the way he also suggests to wear the Argyll which he calls "dress jacket" with a jabot!)

Finally to me kiltwearing is not so much about following rules but about feeling comfortable.
(but some need rules to feel comfortable...)
