Best color of hose for a black watch kilt

[Big Mikey]

I agree. Oatmeal or a smoky grey will go with any kilt/shirt combo. If those colours appeal to you, contact Freedom Kilts about their "Heritage Hose". They are great quality at a reasonable price.

I wear a dark green hose with black flashes.

I like to wear either Lovat Blue or my Lovat Green hose with my Black Watch to tone down the darker colors of the kilt.

Frankly, I think you could get away with almost anything with a black watch. Save maybe something like red or bright blue. And even then, if they toned with your shirt, I think you'd be fine.

Okay. Maybe not the red ones.

Hey, I was gonna say Blood Red for all they've spilled and to look similar to the original red and white hose they wore with it in the old days.

Red works....really....if the ghost of my grandfather Murdoch woulda let me buy a Black Watch kilt I'd prove it to you....maybe wrap a red t-shirt around your leg and see if it doesn't work...kind of...sort of...a little bit.

I prefer black or bottle green socks but I like red flashes for the blood symbolism and the fact that that they stand out nicely against the dark socks.

[Ancienne Alliance]

I would simply wear black.

Thank you for all the advice. And with pictures too! I never expected so many responses and so quickly! Thank you very much.

What color hose do you think looks best with a black watch traditional wool kilt?

... Pink with little blue hearts?

I'm wondering if anyone could pull this one off.

Now maybe white with little red hearts to mimic the red and white hose.
