    Stylin'

    Greetings all,

    I have been debating with myself all day as to whether I should post this or not, but here goes.

    A lass who works at the ever famous coffee shop I go to is also an art major in college, and is keenly aware of how people are coordinated in thier dress. She has always made mention that I look good in the kilt. Today I was dressed in my Maple Leaf, wearing black boots (like Doc Martens) black socks (turned down like the style Hamish says looks good) and a black Guinness rugby shirt with white and red stripes.

    The comment that she made was "WOW you are soooo great looking, that you could become a model!" She said that to a guy who is balding and graying right before your eyes. Of course I said thank you and said that I always like to look good when I come for my coffee, or something like that.

    Someone asked her what made today so special in my dress. All she said was the way those socks look, ooh la la! So I want to thank you so much Ham for the advice you gave on the socks

    I LOOOOOOOVVVVVE the way my husband (especially!) looks in his kilt with Doc Martens. The rugby shirt look is great, and I also like an Arran sweater as a casual style. I should probably post some pics of Alan on this board one of these days!

    I'll bet you really do look HOT in your kilt and boots! What is this socks advice from Hamish? I missed that.

    Keep on turnin' those young girls' heads! :-)

    Glen,

    Sooo cool to get affirmations from the young ones.

    If you're a single man you might consider checking out "How to Date Younger Women for Men over 35" from Steel Balls Press. Think you can find it on the Internet

    Hey great story. But what gives about the socks?
    are they pulled up and worn with flashes? Or pushed all the way doon?

    Take a look in Hamish's gallery and you'll see what Glen is talking about. I have never seen a picture of Hamish going casual with his socks PUSHED down. They are always rolled neatly down to the boot tops.

    I have to agree that I like the look. It's not sloppy, but still completely casual.

    And unfortunately you're not alone Graham.

    And by the way, has anyone ever heard of Glen not having a good experience...ever?
