Yikes!...what color hose??

[ForresterModern]

With my IoS I have to date worn hose of the following colors, although I don't have photos of all of them: lovat green, bottle green, cream with thistles woven into the tops, purple and purple heather handsewns, navy blue, maroon, stone, and my latest addition to hte hose collection Skye Highland Outfitters "Triced" hose in IoS color scheme. There are probably a couple more pairs in the collection which would go well too, like maybe my loden with red checked top, my maroon with yellow and loden checked top. Like I said, try it out---odds are it will probably go with the IoS and look good.

Well, let's see... My own input... I have and Albannach tartan kilt from USA Kilts. It is very similar to the IoS. I wear purple Lewis Rich hose with that one, and it looks spectacular. Given the similarities in the two tartans, I'd wager that purple would be a killer choice for the IoS as well. As to the Irish National... I'm with Matt on this issue! A pair of yellow hose would look great- the would really make the tartan pop I think. I have a pair of bottle green hose that I wear with my Colorado State tartan kilt, and that is the exact reason- the brighter color really brings out the beauty of the tartan.

I am a big fan of maroon hose.

Makes 2 of us. I just wore a pair out... They go with everything!

And looking at McMurdo's pics... isn't it amazing how different color hose can make the same tartan look like a different one?

For the Irish National, I think bottle green hose with yellow flashes, or yellow hose with bottle green flashes would work well. Both Jock and Nighthawk like maroon hose. I would try maroon hose with either yellow or black flashes. Not sure about the green tie for dress. I would suggest trying it and see how it looks.

As for the IoS, Glen has demonstrated some nice choices. I would suggest following his lead.

Thanks to every response. I like every idea! Too bad I can't wear them all at once. LOL Thanks, too, for the pics.
