What to wear under the kilt

[Chef]

OK, I'll catch it now.

Being on the outside of this one, I personally do not care for the look of scrunched down hose. It doesn't offend me to see someone else wearing theirs that way, but I never do. Maybe it's because I am old. On me it looks a little slovenly and like someone trying to mimic the kids' styles. I see the goths and punks wearing their clothes like that, and I am far too old for the look. Aside from the fact that I am much more conservative in my personal choices than most.

...

But, to each his own. I may be a kilt snob , but I am not the kilt police.

Well I would say that there is a big difference between a traditional kilt worn with an Arran sweater, walking boots and scrunched hose and the "kid's" styles you are referring to. the former is something that has been common for a long time.

I am fond of wearing combat boots with wool socks. I turn the tops of the socks over the top of the combat boot securing the laces and giving it a neater appearance. Much nicer than just scrunching the sock down imho. My friend prefers hiking boots but either folds or rolls the sock down. Again much neater in appearance.

Though I haven't worn it this way (yet) I have always considered this style over the "scrunched down" look too

Hiking Boots are more than acceptable. I also have some thick rag knee socks made by Barbour that I use for hose. They are knit pretty much like hose and are good and warm.
