    Its been known to happen that white tennis shoes get worn with a kilt...but its out there...when I do it I feel like a football player from the knees down.





    In fairness, this was a Fourth of July effort at Red White and Blue...



    And this was a "Game Day" look.



    Out on the fringe with Hawaiian shirt and flashes...say it ain't so...I went to work like this last year...really....yikes!!



    Another effort with an Hawaiian shirt, trying to match the gray trim of the white tennis shoe to the gray in the shirt....right...



    I think white tennies work well with denim kilts. For the record my girlfriend didn't like this combination at all...but it was the "red" sox...



    Okay, found a pic of white tennies with a tartan kilt, the old Scot Skye pattern SportKilt.

    So, hey, it can be done. May be kinda "different" or "wild" or even "ugly" but I'm a firm believer that progress comes from pushing the envelope and trying new things rather than seeking "the rules."

    PLAY!

    I've seen it. It's not me, but you may be able to pull it off with a solid color kilt and the right sporty accessories. I've seen a number of people wearing their kilts below their knees and high tops. Once again, I couldn't see myself wearing that because wool hose and hiking boots look so dang good. O'Neille

    RealJuggalo. AS can be seen in Rons pictures it can be done (And well too) However I think a tartan kilt needs hose and not sock. In fact if I had a choice of socks or not I'd go without

    I've worn Keens without kilt hose and my casual kilt. What looks good, looks good. I don't believe that white tennis shoes would look good with a kilt, although it's been done . . .
