What do you think of these?

That actually doesn't look too bad... ;-)

Looking great!

I'm maybe a "traditionalist" (whatever that may be) myself, but I love to see others wearing uhh...other styles

Rigged...that's a hell of an outfit! tres chique...and those boots match perfectly.

I suppose I'm more of a traditionalist and I was never particularly fond of that style of sock. However, that being said - wear whatever "floats your boat" just consider to be respectful of the kilt and the tradition.

Would a gray pair with the stripe provide a little less contrast and not take the eye away from the kilt? It also might not look half bad when worn with a kilt pleated to stripe. Or as others have suggested worn with a solid color kilt.
