Specifically, hose, but more general sartorial advice is always welcome.

So, I just ordered a USAKilts semi-traditional in the German Heritage Tartan:

Seemed like a nice way to honor my Scottish and German roots at the same time. Then I thought, hmmm...what color hose would I wear with this? And I had no good answer.

I will mostly be wearing this kilt in casual-ish environments - Highland Games, pub nights, etc. I expect that the highest level of formality I would undertake would be a long-sleeved dress shirt under a nice sweater. More typically would just be a solid color polo shirt or open-collared oxford.

Red hose would seem an "obvious" choice, but I wonder about there being too much red in the whole ensemble (and I'm trying to step away from the matchy-matchy thing). Black hose would seem too somber to me. Charcoal, maybe, with red or yellow flashes?

I did have my eye on some red and black diced hose at the Scottish Tartan Museum's store:

But I didn't know if they were suitable for the more casual dress I will be adopting (at least for the near future).

So, any help or suggestions for an appropriate color palate are quite welcome.
