    Derek,

    I am assuming the shirt in photos 1 and 3 is charcoal grey. If that is so, then the lovat blue hose in photo 1 is not such a good idea as you've nothing else to take up that colour! Charcoal grey hose would look really good.

    Photo 2: I like this combination but the olive/khaki hose is a little too dark for that shirt. I'd swap them for the oatmeal hose - or find a darker olive shirt!

    Of the three images, I prefer Photo 3. The visual balance is about spot-on.

    On the whole, you cannot go wrong with Oatmeal hose. It goes well with virtually any tartan and can be worn with black or brown accessories.

    (OK, you have my full permission to criticise my 'ensemble' next time we meet!!)

    Great pics, the third is by far the best in my humble opinion.

    Thankyou all for your input. I prefer the third picture myself out of em all. It was just an experiment all around. Ham, you right with the colour of the shirt. I have to go with Elaine to an awards ceremony in a posh hotel on Fri eve .. dinner jacket type touch .. I do have some brown brogues that I bought about 25yrs ago somewhere. Will have to dig them out and post a piccy of what I hope to wear. If I can't meet the standard, I'll have to wear trousers . Thats not my wife saying that, thats me by the way.
