    Hose and Flashes matching or not

    Got myself a pair of purple hose after seeing some on XMarks.

    So this is all my flashes with the hose on my tank.

    Pick what colours (not just one) you think will work with the purple hose.



    I am looking forward to your ideas.

    The tartan is MacLaren Ancient.

    Chris.

    I prefer the top colors. The lovat blue and bottle green especially...

    Chris
    I agree with all of the top row and the green on the second row.

    Incidently I love the purple hose. May I ask where you got them from?

    Re: Hose and Flashes matching or not

    the top row work with the kilt/hose combination; however what else is being worn with it? The flash might match the tie or pocket square or shirt or jacket and that could lead to choosing other options. If you had a bright blue shirt or yellow tie then I would choose either the bright blue or canary yellow from the bottom row. If you put a red silk pocket square in a charcoal jacket then I might use the red flash. Just ideas to expand the options.

    Peace
    Henry

    Re: Hose and Flashes matching or not

    I like all the ones on the top, as they seem to be good 'ancient' colour schemes to match the 'ancient' colours of the kilt. The ones on the bottom seem a little too bright to my eye.

    Re: Hose and Flashes matching or not

    By the way, are those the traditional garter 'flashes' that are attached to elastic garters? I have seen these before. I ask because I see a bit of stitching near the top of the ancient blue pair.

    Cheers,

    All except the yellow ones. Yellow-and-purple looks too Easter eggy to me.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
