No disrespect, Colin, but I'd stay as far away from those suggestions as possible. Once you start making everything look martial, the outfit starts to border on costume. I'd stick with the ball cap or maybe go with a planters straw hat of some sort for shade. I don't care for the hose tops, but it isn't because they're diced; it's because they're colorful and draw your attention to them which detracts from the rest of the ensemble. Good idea to ditch the garter ties, too.
