what kilt hose to wear?

[Galb]

Ok, so I'm going to seek the advice of the more experienced here... I realize this thread has dealt primarily with what is appropriate with formal wear, but I sense a measure of opposition to creme/oatmeal colored kilt hose in general. I have a couple pairs of these which I wear on a fairly regular, casual basis. I do have matching flashes for all of my kilts to bring the ensemble together, naturally. I also have a pair of black and a pair of green hose I wear depending on the kilt as well. My question is simply that in most cases, the higher quality creme hose are what come recommended to those new amongst the kilt world... are they generally frowned upon by those who are more 'in-the-know', even for casual wear? I have enough fashion sense not to wear creme hose with a white shirt or other truly white articles of clothing for obvious reasons, but I don't understand the underlying opposition in general.

The beauty of creme hose is that it can be very versatile. White/creme color will not clash with anything. It is basically a neutral color. You can wear it with almost anything from casual to formal. Some people would opt not to and instead stick with colored hose. Others, such as myself, try to match the hose up to the color of the shirt. It really comes down to preference.
