    dtandthekilt there's a difference of opinion on the issue, and in the not-so-distant past it has blown up into acrimonious debate. I recommend using the search feature for "hose" and "diced" and "formal" and such words. There's lots and lots of material here.
    I respectfully disagree. A forum is a free exchange of ideas, and dtandthekilt has asked a legitimate question. Whilst I would also suggest searching the forum for other threads, as long as we can be civil about it, there is no reason why this thread should be closed at present.

    Regards,

    To answer your question simply

    Either work with formal wear.

    Tartan hose are traditional, white/cream hose are a more modern take.

    Wear which ever you like

    For formal events it is worthwhile to make sure that your hose (be they white/cream, diced, tartan argyle, or solid colored ) are high quality or even hand knit if possible.

    Cheers
