    That is a very good rule to follow. This should be Kilt Hose Rule No. 1.

    In my University days we had the rule: Throw it at the wall. . . . if it doesn't stick, wear it.

    For instance, do you only wear cream hose when you dress up nice?
    As with others here, my only rule is never, ever, not-in-this-life, wear white or cream colored hose!

    Amazing. After reading THIS ENTIRE thread, I can't believe so many people have so many rules about ............ socks. I have two colors off-white and dark green. I had gotten away for years with one pair of hose but now have three. I think the cream/off-white go with anything and I am usually too busy to really care what the hose are as long as they are in the sock drawer they're clean.

    It's to avoid constant advice from others if you don't. I wore khaki hose with my Buchanan Hunting and was harped on by a woman who insisted they were inappropriate (even though they were).

    How very odd -- I would think khaki hose would go quite well with the Buchanan Hunting in "walking out" dress.
