At a function recently in Edinburgh I was introduced to a QC, whose opening remarks to me were firstly what a pleasure it was to see someone wearing coloured hose with their kilt (lovat green with the new good kilt), and secondly one of the laws he would like to see passed by the Scottish Parliament would be the banning of white hose.

White hose are ok for kids - they look quite cute - but not for adults unless as part of a band uniform. If for some reason you have to wear white, this should be restricted purely to formal occasions and never when wearing your kilt casually/semi-formally.
