Just remember, there are no kilt police. I, personally, don't like white or cream kilt hose much. But, that said, wearing a kilt is about freedom. So wear it the way you want to.

Though I have a couple of modern kilts, I tend to wear a wool kilt (solid or tartan) with a belt, sporran, and knee-high hose. But I pair these with a modern shirt (yes, even a t-shirt sometimes) and modern shoes or boots.

One of the great things about this forum is that there are lots of pictures so you are exposed to many different ways of wearing a kilt.
