I think that most kilt-wearers would do well to have five pairs of hose in their closet:

Daywear:
Lovat Blue, Lovat Green, Bottle Green, and Dark Red/ Claret/Burgundy.

Evening:
Argyll or Diced Hose to complement the kilt you wear with formal attire.

I think the claret hose would look particularly nice with the muted Sutherland kilt.
