Hose recommendations

Get the bottle green Lewis hose from the Scottish Tartans Museum for the Black Watch.

Now putting aside recommendations to buy expensive hose, since you're asking for recommended colors, not makers or sellers, here it goes:

My personal favorite is the lovat green, mainly because of the military look. Either black or brown shoes.
Second preference goes to lovat blue, it just works. Brown shoes are best with this.
Finally I equally suggest bottle green/navy blue/black hose. With black shoes, the whole thing looks sober.

Nothing but red flashes with the lovats, and black watch or green flashes for the other colors.

Enjoy.

Fair enough, but watch out for the thin hose showing through to your legs with the dark colors like the bottle green.

Besides the green hose I've worn khaki with either green or navy blue garter ties. Try the different variations mentioned above and you can't go wrong.
