    I don't own any white hose. I have a pair of off-white hose I'll wear for formal occasions, with a black jacket and a white shirt. Otherwise I wear coloured hose, usually oatmeal, charcoal, or lovatt green. The green goes well with most of my kilts, and brown shoes. The oatmeal goes with everything, and the charcoal goes well with my Ramsay kilt, which has a lot of black in it. I also have a pair of lovatt blue hose, which I don't wear as often, but they still look nice. I have a charcoal jacket which will go well with any of those hose.

    Andrew.

    I'm not a massive fan of white hose and have several pairs of coloured hose which I wear according to the tartan of the kilt I have on.

    For example today I wore a sage colour hose with my Brithwe Dewi Sant (St David's Tartan) at the Cardiff parade and it went fine with a pc and ghillie brogues. Pictures will follow in due course as I know Derek took some!

    If we wear white because it's expected we simply perpetuate the myth that it's the correct hose for formal wear. You could make the argument that black and white hose will go with just about anything and of course it does, but do try a little more imagination and adventure too!
