Personally, I prefer the sleek look of the darker hose.

Wow, the navy hose look sharp with that outfit! Go Navy! (I hate white hose, anyway- so I would have voted for the colored regardless- but that ensemble with the navy hose looks nice!)

I can't bring myself to say "Go Navy" being an ex Army Bloke. So I suggest in this instance you go with the dark blue hose

Evidently, you haven't read some of the threads on white/cream kilt hose. Never, ever wear white or cream kilt hose, unless required to do so as a member of a pipe band; ergo, wear the navy.
Have a great time at the Burns' Supper!

Thanks for a overwhelming vote for the navy (dark Blue) hoses (In fact, no one voted white  ). I had an idea that the advise would lean towards blue as I know all too well the general opinion on white hoses on this forum. Quote:

I have a somewhat special relation to white hoses. In Norway, we have a national costume called "Bunad". Here it is very common, and very appropriate to use white/cream hoses. Although these are handmade and comes in beautiful knitted pattern. 
Not to start a debate about this here, but IMHO many good people on this forum has a contempt for white hoses that I do not quite understand the reason for  .
That said, I do agree with you all in this case that blue hoses are the best choice  .
Thanks again;
Skål!

I for one, would not presume to advise a Norwegian on their national dress and in my humble opinion white hose go well with the attire of your nation. I just wish that others would cease trying to adapt ours!  |

To me, the navy colored hose adds a touch of elegance to your overall appearance.
