I wish more people would wear black Argyll jackets in the evening instead of PC coatees. Well done for not going in that direction!
*** Perfect, indeed. *** for black Argyll instead of PC coatee. I am a little more comfortable with your choice of Navy hose than Sandy, but his point is quite well taken. I further agree with the recommendations of the previous posters that you consider diced or tartan hose for the future. While hand knit will be your ultimate goal, J Higgins sells perfectly serviceable machine knit diced hose for $ 60, available here: http://www.jhiggins.net/sf_proddetai...39H51F6K1QVR78. My view is that the black and red are the most universally compatible...
While you consider the diced/tartan hose options, the outfit you have on is perfect as is, and you are good to go. You look smashing, and should stride forth proudly!
