As long as you aren't doing off-white or oatmeal hose with hiking boots, it doesn't look goofy. In the winter, I usually wear either my Armstrong 9-yard 16 ounce kilt or my MacKenzie modern 9-yard 18 ounce wool kilt. Black, navy blue, or bottle green KH (kilt hose) with flashes, then whichever shoes or boots I feel like wearing. UK's are a bit too cool for my taste when temps get below a certain level. On top, it's usually a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and if it's cold enough below freezing, I'll add a down parka. Since I'm still not folically challenged and have long enough hair, I find that I don't lose much heat in the winter from the top of my head. It does tend to get a bit wet when show's falling, though. When it's raining, only the end of my 12" long ponytail gets damp. Last winter, I wore my MacKenzie when we had some pretty strong wind coming down the Fraser River valley into WA. Still was warm enough and didn't get frostbite on the kneecaps.
