Hose again

[Robin]

The "hose issue" for dress occasions keeps haunting us.

Members often ask questions about what to wear at a special event (Wedding, Christmas, Burns Supper etc.) and we mostly agree on what to wear, but the color/type of the hose is always a hot issue.

I know...off white is the standard, but why? Because it looks best? because it became fashion because of the kilt rentals?

White hose seem to be a "no go"...pipers only...but, but...we wear a pure white shirt, not an off white shirt...white doesn't sound odd to me :confused:

Black hose...why not? Black is "classy" and it's a match with the jacket :confused:

Diced and Argyll hose...why not? Are they old fashion...outdated :confused:

Tartan hose...seems perfect to me...old fashion and outdated :confused:

Other colours...when they match ....why not :confused:

I know...it's a free world, we all can do what we like...cheerfuly disagree with eachother and move on until the next "what to wear" question pops up...and start all over again.

When I see pictures of people dressed with off white hose...I see something that's odd, not matching...why oh why?

When I see a picture of a piper wearing a saffron kilt with black hose...I see something that looks very right...why not? questions, questions.

Please throw in all your wisdom and lets sort it out once and for all :rolleyes:
