In a couple weeks I'm going to an awards dinner for one of my wife's clubs. The dress is what passes for "formal" these days, dark suit and tie for men, evening wear for the ladies. Of course I'm not gonna wear a suit again! I think I have what I need to put together a 'semi-formal'.
Here's what I'm figuring on wearing;

Black argyll jacket
White wing collar shirt
black bow tie
Ireland's National kilt
Black Kilt belt & big silver buckle
Black leather dress sporran
Black dress shoes

My question is about hose, the tartan is primarily black and dark green with gold and white stripes... My impulse is to wear either Black hose w/ green flashes, Or Dark Green hose w/ black or gold flashes, My wife suggested Off White hose as being more formal, but I just don't like the look. I'm leaning towards the black hose to balance the jacket. :confused: Help me out!
