Sorry no photos to post but I just spent the weekend at the NB Highland Games and I agree with the comments that kilt sans hose seems less "connected". First day after I finished my piece in the solo Chanter competition I substituted a band-crested golf shirt for the band's uniform dress shirt, tie, waistcoat. Very comfortable although the hose and ghillie's were warm! For Day 2 I wore a Sport Kilt with a golf shirt, Sperry Top-siders and no hose. Seemed a little too casual.
