Just my personal taste here, I am not a member of the Kilt Police! For formal, I would go with diced hose: (Black-tie and up). The colours in the hose should ideally pick up one or more of the colours in the kilt.
That, being said, is there lovat blue in the kilt? Otherwise I would go with the oatmeal or white. When going informal, just try to make look as if you planned it that way.
The patent leather tuxedo shoes should be fine especially with the diced hose. Otherwise a nicely polished dress shoe would do.
Enjoy your outing. I have seen all varieties, (Including one chap with the hose pulled up over his knees at the Burns Supper last year
