Hose color help

[Hamish]

Looks like you've had plenty of good advice here and Scott - as usual - you look sharp in both photos. My only concern with navy or black hose is looking too "bottom heavy" if that makes any sense. If I could only have three choices for hose color they would be oatmeal, lovat blue, and lovat green - they tend to work well with lots of tartans.

I agree with all you say here, Phil, and "bottom heavy" is just how I would describe Scott's office ensemble. I am not being rude here, Scott, it is just exactly what I immediately thought on seeing your photo.

When I were a lad, the Lovats (blue and Green) and oatmeal were the only colours the average kilt-wearer could find. Tartan and diced hose was out there but only for the most formal wear - as is right to this day. In your position, I think I would still have opted for oatmeal hose for the office, but I can see where you are coming from and I commend you for choosing what you did. Do try the oatmeal another time you wear that kilt to the office, even with a white shirt, but avoid white/cream hose at all costs or it might be thought that you're off to a wedding straight from work!! By the way, your choices in the top photo are just perfect - you look a million dollars there!

Apparently, you should wear pink, like a real man.

Thanks for all the advice,

Lovat blue goes well with the Muir tartan(my avatar)
I'll try it with the navy X-marks tonight

When wearing your Xmarks t-shirt with either kilt/tartan, you can wear the cream color hose. Maybe add a splash of color with flashes

I'll also give the oatmeal with lovat blue flashes a try

avoid white/cream hose at all costs or it might be thought that you're off to a wedding straight from work!!

Thanks fgor the tip Hamish I wasn't aware of that
