    For example my tartan has blue, green, red, black and yellow within it so its quite difficult to find hose that doesn't match something! The answer? Don't bother worrying about it!
    I believe you often wear mustard or claret hose which, perhaps unintentionally, match some of the minor colors in Macleod of Harris but in a non-matching shade. I think this often creates a nice look.

    Matching without matching as it were.

    That’s not to take away from your notion of not worrying too much about the hose color.
