I have worn white socks for years with my red MacDonald kilt for formal evenings, but out and about, have worn grey. I figured white set off the tan of my legs, in a vain sort of way. I now wear a green MacKenzie kilt with bottle green rugby socks, with red flashes, as informal wear. Great colours for the festive season. I wear this most Friday nights to my local pub. Enclosed pic of parading the haggis on Burns night. Hmm, if I knew how to make it bigger....oh no, it's gone too big, and I don't know how I did it. Oh well, enjoy.
