    A lot of guys in kilts forgo any kilt hose and flashes and just wear long socks or even the kilt hose sort of scrunched down the shin. I've seen this with hiking boots more than anything. I haven't done it, but I think it looks sorta cool.

    Flashes are lovely things to have and indeed I have matching flashes for most of my kilts.

    But they are not mandatory and should most certainly not be worn with scrunched down socks. Even with full kilt hose I would never wear a sgian without flashes even if sometimes I wear flashes without a sgian.

    The fun bit is going through the drawer trying to find the matching set of flashes for a kilt when I want them!
