Kilt hose?

So, these tips point me towarsd a couple pairs of black hose, and perhaps a good "more neutral" colour like oatmeal. Most of what I own/wear as casual shirts are black in base, whether shirts, or t-shirts. I want to pick up a couple "Jacobite" shirts as well, again, likely in black, as I just think black looks better.

For some of us that's a benefit rather than a drawback!

As the programmer said, "That's not a bug- it's a FEATURE!"

It's not so much what colors you wear. That's your personal choice and only you can decide what colors are good for you. The main thing is to coordinate.

If you're wearing all-black anyway, any colour of hose should be OK - might even be a nice feature in a dark outfit. You'd probably have them rolled down most of the time anyhow, which makes the colour choice even less critical. Oatmeal will look terrific with black - I've worn black flashes with mine and I reckon it looks pretty sharp. The oatmeal hose I have more or less match my peely wally Scots skin tone, so they're a good compromise between casual rolled-down - a look I was sceptical about at first - and the smarter/cold weather/anti-mosquito kneesocks look.
