I like black hose, and don't particularly dislike cream/off white hose either for that matter. I think it depends on when and how they are worn. I would probably wear black hose at a black tie event, but cream are just for knocking about. But I doubt I'll ever wear a kilt to a black tie event, as I already own a tux. To that end, I guess in context of this thread I've really not contributed much.

I need a coffee.
