When are colored hose appropriate?

I would not wear any other hose than off white for formal dress, coloured hose just does not do it for me--Sorry

Say no to the kilt police. I once only owned off-white kilt hose, but have now seen the light. Free yourself from others' fashion inhibitions, different colors look great!

I mean, basically others are coming up to you and telling you what color socks to wear. In any other garb, this would be really strange unless you're one of the fashion world elite. (And then, nobody would tell you that because you're too important, you'd be setting a new trend.)

To make highland dress viable in the 21st century, I think we need to do away with letting other people expound "rules" where only common sense and a WEE bit of tradition should reign. My humble opinion. I do, in most cases, like the traditional dress elements. But come on, it's only your hose!
