What color hose would be a better choice? Is there a section to tell us how to coordinate what to wear with a kilt?
Well, native born Scots will tell you that worrying about matching your hose to you kilt is silly. And for the most part, I agree. HOWEVER- I do find that certain colors of accessories can really bring out the colors of the kilt. Pick the color you like best and match or contrast that. This picture of our own Riverkilt illustrates contrasting colors quite well:

Hot color socks, cool colors in the tartan. Personally, I like to find a stripe to match my accessories to. The Colorado state tartan has a primary color of blue, with green being the second most dominant color. I wear forest green socks with it- the forest green really makes the rest of the tartan pop! So here is a link to my personal favorite brand, and vendor!

Those hose are a little expensive, but man, when you put those on, you'll know where your money went! I have 3 pair and am in the process of slowly converting over to them. I save and buy a new pair every couple months... Although this year, I'll be using part of my tax return to get a few!
