Sock Decorations

[Iolaus]

I haven't wanted the white socks yet, only have black, but I think the white looks nice and more dressy.

You'll find, if you do some reading of the archives here, that some people consider the bright white hose to be only suitable for wear with the piper's uniform. These folks will recommend that off-white be chosen instead.

Of course, since you're wearing UKs, the rules of style are extremely fluid. I, myself, don't have any bright-white hose, but I do tend to bend and twist the rules of style in other ways. I would suggest that, before investing too much into accoutrements, you should spend some time reading some of the back-threads here, and viewing as many of the members pictures and photo-galleries as you can. That'll give you a more informed idea of what you're looking to do.


-Edit-

About kilt socks (they're called hoses...don't ask me why)...the pure white hoses are for pipers, the off white/cream/arran hoses are worn when dressed up. All other colours (oatmeal/stone, lovat and navy blue, lovat and bottle green, charcoal etc.) are for more casual occasions.
