matching your hose?

[Panache]

Okay, everybody has given good advice so far, but no one has mentioned that the cream/white hose really should be avoided (this being the "Traditional Highland Dress Forum" I feel I am on safe ground when I write this!).

Don't be too sure Sandford!

As far as hose go, especially for a formal outfit, don't skimp on the socks!

It seems to be the one item that people consistently try to save money with when they insist on the "good stuff" for every other part of thier outfit.

Speaking from experience wearing a pair of thin cheap white hose* will not enhance the look of your $500 kilt, it will detract from it. On the flipside, a nice, thick, well made, and matching colored pair of Lewis hose really improves the looks of a kilt, even if if it an acrylic mix one like the Gold Brothers sell.

Cheers

* Just my opinion here, but unlike Sandford I think white hose can be worn with formalwear and look smashing. However out of all the colors, white hose definately look the worst when of inferior quality. One doesn't want to look like one is wearing gym socks with one's highland attire!
