However, the kilt has very little color, and I'm most likely to wear it with neutral colored shirts, waistcoat, etc. Would red hose (like these) overpower the kilt? I already have black hose (and red flashes).

    Thanks.
    Go big or go home. I think red hose would definitely pull out the red in the kilt. My vote is "yes".

    I often wear claret hose with my MacKenzie and Scottish National kilts, but I avoid bright red hose. The problem for me with any kind of very bright or garish hose is that it immediately attracts the eye and thus becomes the focal point of the outfit, leaving the kilt itself on the periphery. I know others will disagree, but for me the kilt should remain the focal point of the highland outfit.
