what kilt hose to wear?

[Carolina Kiltman]

Just my personal taste here, I am not a member of the Kilt Police! For formal, I would go with diced hose: (Black-tie and up). The colours in the hose should ideally pick up one or more of the colours in the kilt.

That, being said, is there lovat blue in the kilt? Otherwise I would go with the oatmeal or white. When going informal, just try to make look as if you planned it that way.

The patent leather tuxedo shoes should be fine especially with the diced hose. Otherwise a nicely polished dress shoe would do.

Enjoy your outing. I have seen all varieties, (Including one chap with the hose pulled up over his knees at the Burns Supper last year .

Stay away from the white and oatmeal hose with formal dress in the evening. Stay away from them like the plague! Diced or tartan hose are what's needed, but lacking those options, solid colours such as the lovat blue will do.

Absolutely spot on, for my money anyway nothing beats diced or tartan hose, I was looking through an older publication at my Aunt's house today, of the men in an advertisement for a highland wear store none of the models were wearing white hose.
